Just a few of the people who gained qualifications in 2015 while working for the Council.
We support our people to learn formally and informally, and the result is beneficial for individuals, Council and the community as a whole.
When you work at Council you’ll have the opportunity to attend in-house professional development courses each year. Topics include presentation skills, report writing, leadership, coaching, project management, Treaty of Waitangi, Te Reo learning courses and more. You’ll also be encouraged to attend specialist external training courses, seminars and conferences.
As well as on-the-job and in-house training, we offer:
Study fees and study leave
Permanent staff who are studying a course relevant to their job can apply to be reimbursed for a portion of their study fees. They can also apply for up to four hours’ paid study leave a week for the duration of the course.
Professional subscriptions
Being a member of a professional association helps you keep pace with the latest thinking and networks in your specialist area. We'll support your membership.
Pathways programme
The Pathways programme supports our people to complete training, and covers a range of literacy, language, numeracy, leadership and communication courses which can lead to NZQA qualifications.
