Tahatū is the new careers website replacing Careers NZ In 2024. TEC are currently in the design phase for the “self awareness” tool. We are encouraging all CATE members to complete the following survey so the tool meets the needs of our students. Think about what your ultimate must haves are—should it just be one tool, or a combination of tools that build on attributes, strengths, values each year. What have you seen that works well? Opportunity to feedback is open now and closes this Friday 19th May, 5 pm. |

Introducing our next keynote speaker—Mark Ingles. Mark has presented to over 200,000 people across the world, inspiring them to embrace challenge, to develop the attitude to excel. It is this combination of achievement in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds and his ability to interpret this to a wide range of people that resulted in the honour of being both a delegate and panellist at the UN partnered 2009 Global Creative Leadership Summit in New York, presenter at TEDx Chicago 2011 and guest lecturer for the Oxygen series in the UK, November 2011. Much of Mark's time is spent in India, consulting to the countries top executives, focusing on change, challenge and the role of attitude in business. Mark leads one to three treks to Nepal each year to raise funds and awareness for Limbs4All projects in Nepal and Cambodia. Challenge and attitude is at the core of all growth, in our families, communities and businesses. Mark is the epitome of Challenge and Attitude. As the only double amputee who has stood on the summit of Mt Everest, Mark truly defines the phrase 'Attitude determines your Altitude'. Conference registrations are open! More information here |
