The Connected service makes it easier for New Zealanders to find government support for employment, education, and training.

It includes new initiatives set up in response to COVID-19 as well as the vast range of existing support and advice available. Connected is a joint initiative involving many government agencies, coordinated by the Ministry of Social Development (MSD).

Anyone looking for a job, careers information, study, training, or business support can find out about the services available from government by:

  • Visiting the Connected website at Connected.govt.nz, which provides links to more than 150 employment, education and training services or types of support offered by government agencies.
  • Calling the Connected phone line on 0800 264 737.
  • Dropping into one of theConnected centres in 35 MSD service centres and three of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s Jobs and Skills Hubs.
