“As technology progresses and we move further into Industry 4.0, workers must be upskilled to keep pace with new systems and processes, especially older employees who are not digital natives, but who have invaluable experience in their fields,” says Competenz Sector Manager Jahn Vannisselroy
Competenz has developed a new micro-credential to meet the demands brought about by Industry 4.0.

What's your opinion on the Northport expansion?
Northport is moving forward with its proposal to expand in order to cater for larger ships and more freight.
The project is going ahead despite the Ports of Auckland relocation put on hold after a government report found that the cost of the move would outweigh the benefits.
Northport will apply for resource consent on the site, which if approved, will more than double the berthage at its Marsden Point site.
The expansion is expected to create 400 jobs in the region, bringing economic growth to the region, fulfilling a key objective for Northport.
A floating dry dock is also included in the proposal which will allow ships over 250m long to berth for maintenance and repairs.
