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."

Silent Spring Revisited: Rachel Carson’s fight for nature
by Jan Bolwell; directed by Annie Ruth
Rachel Carson has been in Jan Bolwell’s life since she was
nine years old. Her conservationist grandmother
introduced her to Carson’s famous book Silent Spring, that
exposed the dangers of the chemical pesticide DDT. Jan
revisits this book through adult eyes, as she plays Rachel
Carson in her !ght for nature.
An exciting creative team has worked collaboratively on
this work - director Annie Ruth, composer Jan Bolton and
lighting designer Helen Todd. Audiences !nd out about
Rachel’s struggle to bring an important environmental
issue into the light. We also are challenged to consider
current ecological and environmental issues in our own
backyard.
Wellington City Council is rapt to be supporting this
custom-built tour of Silent Spring Revisited to local
community centres. This pilot project explores ways in
which artists might build community within some of the
city’s shared suburban buildings.
‘Jan Bolwell shows wit, fluency, precision and charm..’
