Continuing our theme of talking to industry leaders Vic will be interviewing Patrick McKibbin, CEO of the Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce.
Patrick has a long history of working in Education so understands the importance of STEAM initiatives, science and technology for our economy, and pathways into the workforce. We will be discussing how 2024 is shaping up from an industry perspective, some exciting initiatives Patrick is championing in the Hutt Valley – and nationally like TechStep.nz – and the role of digital technology in transforming Aotearoa into a light weight export driven country.
