We have extended the programmes now available on the Totara eLearning App which provides access to the eLearning environment through your smart phone. The App makes it easier to engage in training and upload evidence quickly and easily on your phone.
In September, we enjoyed a particularly successful celebration with the Electrical Supply Industry at Annual Connection in Invercargill, with hosts PowerNet. It is always fantastic to take this industry skills showcase to the regions and this year was no exception, with an impressive line-up of line mechanic crews and cable jointers from around the country. The event was covered on Seven Sharp and if you missed it, you can view the coverage here.
As we head toward the end of the year, we understand the pressures that can come from both home and work. If you are finding it a struggle, whether that be relationship problems, conflict, anxiety or depression, as a trainee with Connexis you have access to Vitae a free, 24/7 counselling service. It’s an easy call to 0508 664 981.
I wish you all the best in achieving your training goals and encourage you to talk to your CSAM if you need some extra support with your training or setting goals to work through your training programme.
