The Enterprise Training Programme is funded by New Zealand Trade and Enterprise and delivered by specialist training providers throughout New Zealand. It is aimed at motivated owners and managers with the potential to grow.

You need to be prepared to commit time and energy to the programme so the particular development needs of your business are met. In return, you will find the courses increase your motivation, boost your confidence and build your knowledge of specific areas of business management.
Who is eligible?
The Enterprise Training Programme is open to the owners and managers of small businesses employing fewer than 50 full-time* staff. Numbers on courses are limited which means selection criteria may apply to ensure the training is directed towards businesses that will get the most out of it. If a course is not suitable for your needs, your local training provider may direct you towards other options for training and support.
(*Full-time = 30 hours or more per week)
What is the cost?
The Enterprise Training Programme is fully funded by New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, so there is no cost to participants. Your investment is your time, effort and commitment.

How do I take part?
  1. Register your interest in the Enterprise Training Programme by completing the registration form and sending it to Empower Team limited. They will then contact you to discuss next steps, including setting up a meeting with a business assessor.


  2. Complete the core capability assessment on the New Zealand Business Assessment website at www.businessassessment.co.nz. You will need to give your business assessor access to your assessment so they have background on your business to prepare for their meeting with you. Your assessment is held securely and should take about 30 minutes to complete.

  1. Meet with your business assessor for a one-on-one session to identify and discuss opportunities to further develop your business.
What is offered?
Needs assessment
