Support to deliver your own training

• Instructor Training: As a Platinum Partner of The Carpentries, we focus on upskilling potential trainers across the national training community to strengthen capability building within organisations and at a national level. Through biannual certification workshops, we equip trainers in New Zealand with the pedagogical knowledge needed to confidently contribute to workforce development nationwide. REANNZ is also represented globally on The Carpentries Board through our Research Communities Advisor - Training, Dr Nisha Ghatak.

• OpenOnDemand training environment: Our cloud-based training environment simplifies workshop delivery, providing easier access for NZ trainers and researchers. Explore the public repository for the training environment here: 

• Training partnerships and resources: We have strong training partnerships with national research communities, such as Genomics Aotearoa to provide bioinformatics training nationally.

• Connect with the community: Our team actively connects with researchers and trainers across the country to understand their upskilling needs and provide a strong network of support for training through annual events like Carpentry Connect, weekly Office Hours, Carpentries Community Calls and regular check-ins with sector leaders.

REANNZ builds sustainable, scalable training programs to ensure computational skills and the researchers who depend on them flourish across New Zealand.
