The Career Practitioners Association of New Zealand (CPANZ) is the professional organisation for a diverse range of people working in the career development field in New Zealand. CPANZ was formed at the beginning of 1997 with the aim of drawing together this range of people, under a unified professional vision. CPANZ recognises that the process of career development occurs in many settings, including education, industry, commerce, government and the professions.
One of the principal aims of CPANZ is to promote professional standards and best practice in career development. To achieve this, CPANZ assists the development of its members as professionals and supports research activities. CPANZ also functions as a national voice for members, providing comment where policy and practice impact on issues of concern to the profession. The Career Practitioners Association of New Zealand maintains active links with its international counterparts and supports professional collegiality at all levels. CPANZ website |

The Ministry of Education is pleased to support this conference. The ministry is working to develop an education system with the capacity to adapt and respond to the needs of an increasingly complex and diverse society. The system now has to prepare students for careers that may have been unheard of 50 years ago, with the flexibility for them to adapt as the world continues to change. We are doing this through the implementation of a number of programmes including the New Zealand Curriculum, which has been designed to meet the needs of learners in the 21st century. Transition from school to tertiary education and training, and work is also an area where the ministry is focussing, ensuring that students see the relevance of their learning to the career path they want to focus on in the future. The ministry recognises the value of agencies working together and looks forward to the discussions that will be held throughout the conference. |

The Ministry of Social Development is the lead agency for the social sector. We help the Government to set priorities across the sector, co-ordinate the actions of other social sector agencies and track changes in the social well-being of New Zealanders. We also provide policy advice, and deliver social services and assistance to children and young people, working age people, older people, and families and communities. People are at the centre of our business and this is reflected in our vision, purpose and values. We have a vision of “An inclusive New Zealand where all people are able to participate in the social and economic life of their community.” This vision supports our purpose of leading social development to achieve better futures for all New Zealanders. We know we can’t do this alone – it’s only by working with government and non-government organisations, with communities and with individuals that can we really make a positive difference. Success at MSD is all about helping to build successful individuals and in turn building strong, healthy families and communities.Ministry of Social Development website |
