Future-proof your business

The power of an apprenticeship
‍
‍
Apprenticeships are a long-term investment in your business’s success – they can help address not only current skills gaps but also help build a pipeline of future talent with the skills that your business will need in the years to come. Competenz will help you build a qualified workforce that’s prepared to weather any challenge.

It's simple to start
‍
‍
Taking on an apprentice is easier than you think. With Competenz, you’ll have a trusted partner guiding you every step of the way – from becoming an accredited workplace and employer, to finding the right person through our job board or identifying current talent, and then working with you to develop a customised training plan for your apprentice that aligns with your business goals and delivers NZQA-recognised qualifications.


"We've trained over 700 apprentices, and there's a definite benefit as our employees end up with a higher skill level, and that transfers through the business. I couldn't advocate training highly enough."

- Rob Kirwan, Managing Director of heavy engineering business Culham Engineering
