How to figure out what's next - and actually get there
As a professional body we're often asked by members for some pointers on kickstarting or progressing a career. Or how to turn a "job" into a "career" and actually get some focus into getting ahead.
This has especially been the case following research released a few weeks ago that showed far more industry investment in immigration than domestic talent development - meaning less employer-funded professional development than many other industries. And that has to change.
The answer is actually, perhaps surprisingly, a lot easier than you might think. In fact the process itself is clear, and most of the tools are either available through ITP, or will be within the next few weeks.
Call for Book Chapters - 60 years of tech innovation
2020 was the 60th anniversary of tech innovation in New Zealand, marking 60 years of IT Professionals New Zealand Te Pou Hangarau Ngaio.
Edited books were produced in 1985 and 2010 to mark the 25th and 50th anniversaries respectively. ITP is excited to be adding to this collection by producing a third book for its 60th anniversary, incorporating the earlier volumes.
Quick ITP update and upcoming events
(From Monday) What an exciting week we've just had, with the 123Tech digital challenge national finals event broadcast live to schools, industry folks, students and the public across New Zealand.
We were excited to recognise the national winners during the event, from Arahoe School, Auroa School and Palmerston North Girls High School, while also celebrating regional success from across New Zealand. We were also pleased to recognise recently retired teacher Margot Phillipps for her massive contribution over many years.
And just a heads-up - we're taking ITx on the road next year, with Innovation Day and related events happening across all 8 of our home cities, plus potentially one or two other places as well. 2021 is going to be a great year!
