What are your biggest challenges as a manager when managing young professionals? And, how can we help? That's the question we're looking to answer as we further develop our module to help managers understand what is different about managing young professionals, and how to engage them and on-board them correctly during their first 90 days.
We'd love to hear from you on this - look out for our survey coming out shortly.
We're excited to announce that from February 2017, Sport New Zealand is offering our online course Becoming A Workplace Athlete as part of their online learning platform www.sporttutor.nz. This means that all young professionals starting their first job in the sport and recreation sector will have free access to the course through Sport Tutor.
The course is particularly designed for young professionals in their first three months of a new role, but relevant to all young professionals as they start out in the workplace.
It covers everything from what it means to be professional and how to have a chat with your manager, through to how to set up good habits at work and what to do when you don’t know what to do. The course also provides downloadable resources to guide key conversations necessary to workplace success.
We'll be supporting the sport and recreation sector young professionals with a Community Champion - a young professional who will be the first port of call in the course discussion forums for help and support.

We celebrated with some cupcakes from our friends at Sweet Release Bakery in Wellington. There'll be a proper party later this month.
We celebrated our 2nd birthday on 10th February! It's a good time to reflect - anything worth doing is worth doing well, and spending the time to put in solid foundations.
We're about to go live with a very cool project, and we've completed our pilot for JumpShift and are working through the feedback received from our Sounding Board team (the young professionals who are testing it out). It's exciting to be sharing what we've created with others, and even more exciting when they say how much they like it.
We're very proud of what we've achieved so far, and really looking forward to reaching and supporting even more young professionals this year. - C
We've just gone live on the new JumpShift platform - so if you're in our Sounding Board test group, look out from an email from us next week!
