At Pūkeko Learning Solutions, my team and I design and develop workplace learning programmes for our clients. We love producing high quality, engaging and effective learning experiences which foster growth and help people, businesses and communities reach their potential. Do you have a goal you're trying to achieve with your people? We can work with you to determine the needs of the organisation, and design a programme of learning to meet those needs in the most efficient, and cost-effective way. You provide the subject-matter-expertise, we'll provide the learning insights and materials design skills. We specialise in online learning, but we're no stranger to good old face-to-face training as well. During the discovery phase, we'll figure out what will be most effective for you.We have experience with systems training, people-skills training, process-training and compliance training. We can review your exisitng programmes and determine how they might become even more effective. Don't have an L&D department in-house? Let's have a chat to see how we can support you in developing a programme of growth and learning for your team.
