NZCS KiwiSkills

Welcome to KiwiSkills

KiwiSkills is an initiative from the non-profit NZ Computer Society Inc (NZCS) to provide one-stop access to tools and resources for kiwis to improve their computing skills.

Kiwis lose around 4 weeks of work a year in lost productivity, per person, by not dealing with digital literacy in the workplace. 

Digital literacy isn't about just knowing how to use a computer. It's about using technology in the most efficient, productive and positive way possible. It's about creating opportunities for New Zealand and New Zealanders to flourish.

KiwiSkills combines internationally-recognised digital literacy standards, accessibility of training and courseware at a level not seen before, awareness and advocacy for computing skills, and involvement of the wider IT and training communities to tackle this issue together.
