boost business with on-job training
how we help with on-job training
Connexis arranges, delivers, supports, and assesses work-based learning for the infrastructure industries of Civil, Energy, Telecommunications, and Water. That means we help up skill the infrastructure workforce.
We set programmes, evaluate assessments, and support employers and learners to obtain nationally-recognised micro-credentials and qualifications through apprenticeships and traineeships.
What are the benefits of on-job training?
Strengthen tenders and contracts by meeting increased demand and compliance requirements with non-priced attributes.
Increase retention through investing in your employees with a clear
career path and the formal recognition for their work and experience.
Ensure best practice and procedures are understood and adhered to through quality training.
ABOUT OUR on-job training
Our tertiary training is nationally recognised through the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) and mostly delivered on-the-job. We have arrangements with training providers for off-job learning, and a Learning Management System (LMS) for online learning, and we can coordinate all of this for you.
We provide a national field team of Customer Service Account Managers (CSAMs) that work with employers to get their team qualified and recognised. This helps companies:
- Improve safety practices onsite;
- Improve productivity;
- Reduce rework;
- Have confidence in skill ability of their crews when tendering for projects;
- Create a happy and healthy workforce.
Our team of CSAMs also provide support to your employees / our learners to ensure their success. Our team helps learners:
- Set clear and reasonable goals to tick off assessments;
- Monitor their progress and keep them on track to complete on time;
- Gain the on-job experience required by liaising with employers/ training managers;
- Find ways around obstacles to progression;
- Stay motivated;
- Celebrate success!
