We have Partnered with https://www.tewaka.nz to offer NZTE Training capability vouchers. The Capability Voucher Funding helps business owners to access business training and coaching services, by providing them with up to a 50% subsidy towards the registered service cost.

​

The funding is one of the services available through the Regional Business Partner (RBP) Network who employ Growth Advisors to support business owners looking to grow and innovate.

​

• To access this co-funding you must first meet with one of our RBP Growth Advisors to discuss your business.

• The Growth Advisor will seek to understand opportunities for growth and help identify any barriers to this.

• The Growth Advisor will then work with you to put together an action plan. Where there is a management capability need identified that could be addressed by undertaking training, the Growth Advisor may issue a Capability Voucher to the business.

​​

Vouchers may only be used with services registered in the Marketplace. Vouchers can only be used in the following subject areas:

• Business Planning

• Business Systems

• Business Sustainability

• Capital Raising, Export

• Finance, Governance

• Lean Manufacturing/ Business Operations

• Managing Resources

• Marketing

​​

The value of vouchers issued will vary (usually $1500) and they can be used to cover up to 50% of the training service cost (capped at $5000).

​

Any business can meet with a Growth Adviser. However to access co-funding for registered training enterprises must also meet the following criteria:
