Professional / Trade Associations
In New Zealand, there are many professional and trade organisations that provide networking opportunities, industry information, and membership. The majority of the time, membership in a professional organisation can raise your reputation with employers because it shows you are capable of upholding regional standards.
You might be able to join more than one association, and you should at the very least keep up with the data each one offers about your industry.
They represent various businesses and sectors, are a wealth of knowledge, and occasionally host networking events.
