Now, upskilling, online courses and on-the-job training are all part of making your way up the career ladder.
We want to talk to people who have completed micro-credentials, bitesize qualifications for specific skills.
Perhaps you've pieced together a full qualification by doing online courses, or maybe you've taken a workshop rather than investing in a six-month course. We'd love to hear from you - email josephine.franks@stuff.co.nz

So, take some time out of your busy schedule to enjoy the second of the Rotary Martinborough Fairs for 2020 starting on Saturday, 7th March from 8am to 4:00pm. Stalls and activities for this event will take place in and around Martinborough Square. 😀
What does that mean for you?
Your Route 200 to Masterton will be diverted away from the area during the hours of 4am to 6:30pm so that you can enjoy the festivities as the square will be closed to traffic. Your journey to Masterton will now start from Stop #1800 Martinborough - Kitchener Street (near 11) instead of your usual Stop #1779 located at Martinborough Town Hall. Stop #8991 Jellicoe Street at Naples Street will also be closed.

In it he concludes that Labour and Jacinda Ardern are too nice, a fatal flaw. Is this where we have got to? Where being nice is regarded as a character flaw? The weakest link in the election campaign? What hope is there for humanity, or indeed the planet, if this is the case? The article also describes Jacinda as "a well meaning princess", and with international womens day foremost today, the mysogeny came through loud and clear. I noted that Jacinda has no problem taking it to the Nats or the Aussies if this is warranted.
I bet those people working on the minimum wage didnt think the raise they got was "too nice" they probably thought it was long overdue. Single mums and people with disabilities who couldnt afford to plug in the heater, didnt think the winter energy payment was too much, and people struggling with medical bills didnt regard the reduction to $17 for a consultation as over the top either. But then, media celebs are probably not the people most helped by the changes Labour has made.
And the good thing about being nice, is that it stands out in stark contrast to the indifference of the last National government.
