Low levels of digital literacy among staff is a challenge facing many manufacturing businesses, and strengthening those skills is not only essential to meet rapid technological changes in the workplace, it’s vital to increasing productivity.

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.

With most DOC huts in Marlborough currently closed due the recent flooding, I find it a bit surreal that just the day before the rain started, my daughter and I had a fantastic wilderness adventure.
With the ongoing wet weather and track and hut closures, no one is going anywhere for a bit, but it has given me the opportunity to write up our adventure, so there's something to read for those who enjoy the outdoors but can't get out anywhere at the moment.
