New Tools, Training and Funding Opportunities

This month’s newsletter brings together practical tools and development opportunities designed to strengthen our member associations, construction businesses and the people who lead them.

We introduce the Employer Toolkit, a new CGF-managed resource supporting employers across the employee lifecycle. We also have a few remaining places available for Governance Essentials training, while eligible construction business owners can apply for up to 12 months of fully funded support through Business Mentors New Zealand. Round Two of the CGF General Scholarships will open on 1 October.

We also look ahead to ConstrucTrend 2026. CGF has commissioned Tiria to continue this important workforce research, building on the insights gathered by ConCOVE Tūhura. Participating member associations will hear from us soon about helping distribute the survey. Please explore these opportunities and share them with the people in your networks who could benefit.
