Update from ITPNZ
Here's a quick weekly update from ITP CEO Paul Matthews.
We had a great Thursday Live webinar yesterday featuring Greg James, head of transformation at IRD, who talked about their huge transformation project - what went right, what didn't, and some unique insights and war stories. ITP members can view the full webinar on the ITP Video Library.
Also, after a very short notice period, Expressions of Interest are about to close for the Interim Establishment Boards for the Workforce Development Councils, part of the Review of Vocational Education. Wow, what a mouthful. Basically if you're keen to help shape the organisations that will define the future of tech-related vocational education, this is for you.
Speaking of events, we're looking forward to hosting Punakaiki Fund founder Lance Wiggs at our next Webinar in a fortnight, and don't forget the monthly Tech Chat Tuesday next week. What else is going on? We open up our new-look mentoring programme to Mentor registrations next week and we're also looking for awesome tech people to virtually judge our in-school 123Tech programme.

While sad to be losing her from TechBlog, we're excited to pass on huge congrats to Sarah Putt, who has just been appointed Editor of CIO Magazine (also covering Computerworld). She has big shoes to fill, with Divina Paredes stepping down after more than 20 years, but she'll do very well. Plus a quick update on WDCs and last chance to get involved in our latest Working Group.
