Workforce Development is a private training company, which has been serving Hawke’s Bay communities, businesses and local government agencies for over 20 years.
From its beginnings as a small company in Hawke’s Bay, Workforce Development has built a reputation for providing practical training programmes and services across New Zealand.
Business Training Coordinator Chrissie Manson says Workforce Development now has training programmes and services available for many business sectors including Hospitality, Youth Work, Early Childhood Education, Foundation Skills (workplace literacy and numeracy services), and Enterprise Training Programmes (ETP) for general business.
