Learning helps you to develop skills and reach your goals professionally and personally. At Wellington City Council we believe learning is for everyone regardless of your role, work location, or how long you've worked at Council.
Whare Kura (our Learning Management System)
We want you to have everything you need to take charge of your career. Our Learning Management System (Whare Kura) offers over 120 courses, including core induction e-learning, other self-paced online learning, face to face workshops and programmes. All Council kaimahi (employees) can access this at any time to broaden your skills as part of your wider development.
Annual development funds
As part of how we award and recognise our kaimahi, we provide an individual development fund that covers growth opportunities for high performers. Kaimahi who meet the criteria can apply for up to $2,500 per person.
We also have a development fund to support growth opportunities for our teams. Teams who meet the criteria can apply for up to $4,000 per team.
Leadership development programmes
Our leadership and team development programme is called Te Kāpuia. Te Kāpuia offerings include learning to support leaders and teams together as well as leadership specific development.
Other development
Development opportunities are varied at Council. We support a wide range of role and business unit specific training and upskilling. There is also the opportunity for development outside the scope of your role such as First Aid, Floor Warden, and Emergency Operations Centre training.
