Nau mai, haere mai ki te Ratonga Tūmatanui — Welcome to the Public Service.
Mō te tangata takitahi For individuals
This induction module was created to give you an understanding of your role as a public servant. It's an interactive tool with 6 sections. You should allow 30 minutes to complete it.
In the induction, you will learn about what the Public Service does, how we work together, our principles and values, what we can offer you with regards to career and development opportunities, and the relationship we have with central government. As you complete the module, you will work through videos and other interactive activities. This is not a test and your answers are not collected.
Talk to your manager if you have questions about your role, your obligations, development opportunities and how your work fits into the overall system.
To get started, open the induction module.
