Competenz has recently launched a new micro-credential to improve the level of digital literacy in the manufacturing sector.
"With an aging workforce it’s imperative we enable companies to keep their tradesmen and craftsmen,” says Jahn Vannisselroy, Competenz Sector Manager. “This micro-credential, which we can tailor to a specific company, is giving people the confidence to meet technology head-on.”
The qualification is fully funded under the government’s Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF) for employers who enrol their staff before 31 December 2022.

"Hi there my name is Poe and I am a great pup looking for my forever home. I have not had the best start to life so would love a home that understands my quirks and is keen to help me through them. A home that has the patience and time to help me be the best companion I know I can be. I am super social so I could go a home with another playful dog that loves having a good tumble. I am not suited to a home with young children so would love a home with teenagers, who are keen to teach me new things and take me on adventures. Puppy school is something I am looking forward with my new family, learning things and making new friends. I do come with a medical waiver that my new home would need to be aware of. If you think you are the home for me please contact the canine team for more information."

If you have memories or photos of past flood events, we can use this information to ensure the finished flood maps are as accurate as possible. Information from the maps will be crucial for improving Lower Hutt’s resilience to future flooding.
Come along to the Petone Library tomorrow between 6pm and 8pm and view the draft maps, learn more about natural hazards and help us to manage their impacts on our city. More information below.

It's that time of year again folks. I'm taking pre-orders for the 2022 Wild Birds of New Zealand calendar now.

Like last year these are a large A3-size calendar, with cover printed on 300gsm gloss art board and the pages printed on 150gsm gloss art paper. These are printed locally in Petone at Valley Print. The calendars are $28 each inclusive of GST, plus courier at cost. Courier (NZ Post) is $11.50, plus approximately $3 extra for RD, but you can get up to six calendars for the one shipping cost. I've managed to source some home compostable bio plastic courier bags from a New Zealand Company called R3.
If you are in the Hutt, you are welcome to pick up from Woburn and save the courier cost. GST Tax invoices available when calendars arrive back from the printers. Payment on invoice by deposit into my account or cash on pick-up. Calendars should be ready to ship by end of September.
There is absolutely no problem if you pre-order and then change your mind before I ship them, as the extras I had printed sold out last year and several people missed out.
Email me on louise@louisethomas.co.nz or message me with your address details for shipping, or if you would like to pick up, I'll let you know my address. Thanks for supporting my venture.
