Training Programmes

Training will equip you and you staff to run your business more effectively and efficiently.

Vision Manawatu is a Regional Business Partner of New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) and MSI. Through our Regional Partnership Network, we also have funds to invest in building management capability in the region.

Eligible businesses will be able to use NZTE vouchers with registered providers towards qualifying services such as training workshops, courses and coaching.

To qualify for a voucher, your business must:

have fewer than 50 full time employees
be operating in a commercial environment
be registered for GST in New Zealand
be privately owned, or a Maori Trust or incorporation under the Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993 or similar organisation managing Maori assets under multiple ownership
demonstrate a desire to innovate and grow
have undergone a capability assessment with a Regional Business Partner (and meet any additional criteria specific to their region).

Vouchers may be used to help pay up to 50 percent of the cost of services (up to a maximum value of $5000 excluding GST) from registered providers that improve management capabilities, such as Business Planning, Marketing Strategies, Finance, Business Systems, Managing Resources, Governance, Sustainability, Lean Manufacturing / Business Operations, and Exporting.

There's four easy steps:

Give the friendly team at Vision Manawatu a call and book an appointment with one of our Business Advisors.
Our Business Advisors will determine what your needs are and assist you with a plan to help you improve and grow. We'll then identify relevant training, advice or information, which matches the development needs that we've identified with you.
If eligible, we can allocate NZTE vouchers contributing up to 50% of approved courses, workshops or coaching
Once you have completed your training, let us know how you got on. Keep us involved as we can help you with your next step.
