23-27 September is the inaugural national Learning & Development (L&D) Week, themed “Manaakitanga in L&D: Fostering Learning Together”. We are excited to embrace the theme of manaakitanga (hospitality, respect, and care for others) by offering a range of valuable resources to support your professional growth and development.
Free Resources Available
Below are three template documents which are offered to you at no cost. The templates are in Word format, so you can adapt and adjust them for your specific needs. They have blank fields for you to complete plus a completed example page so you can see how they can be used.
1. Checklist for Supporting Staff
This checklist includes 12 essential items that leaders should consider in relation to the professional development of their staff. It serves as a practical guide to ensure that leaders are fostering a culture of continuous learning and development within their teams.
2. Individual Development Plan Template
This template is designed to help formalise the professional development of individuals. It provides a structured approach to setting and achieving development goals, ensuring that personal growth aligns with organisational objectives.
3. Team Development Plan Template
Similar to the Individual Development Plan, this template focuses on the wider team perspective. It helps teams collectively identify development needs and create actionable plans to enhance their skills and performance.
Feel free to download these valuable tools to help foster a culture of continuous learning within your organisation.

In addition to the free resources, we are offering substantial discounts on selected courses. Four courses, each representing different levels of complexity, will be available at a 40% discount for the entire week. For members, you get an additional 10% member discount, which amounts to substantial savings! This is a fantastic opportunity to enhance your skills at a fraction of the normal cost.

Competition: Free Digital Badge
We are also running a fun and engaging competition in collaboration with Water NZ. Participants can enter by describing how they demonstrate manaakitanga in relation to their infrastructure. Winners will be chosen at random and will receive FREE access to a digital badge of their choice from either Āpōpō or Water NZ.
