After years of searching for a new recruit for their business, Auckland engineering firm Stainless Machinings turned to Competenz’s free job matching service to find them an ideal candidate.
In the space of a few short months, school leaver Stuart Martin joined the company.

“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.

Our dog-control service is 90% funded by registration fees, and helps keep all dogs in the District safe. Unfortunately the service has not been able to keep up with all the issues reported recently, and we’ve had to increase fees this year to cover costs.
About half of all dog owners have renewed their registrations for the year - ka pai! We encourage all dog owners to register now, avoid penalties and do their bit for local dog control. Late payments after 31 July 2021 are more expensive but still required, so it makes sense to register as soon as you can.

We think this was the best apartment on The Block NZ: Firehouse in Kingsland. Stacy and Adam did a stellar job, and now it is going to auction for a second time, on July 28. 2021. Great character apartment, great location.
