In March 2015 over a hundred New Zealand Public Service Association Youth (PSAY)
members attended PSA Youth Leadership Training in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and
Christchurch. The training is a one day programme for PSA members aged 35 and under. It
is designed to encourage members to think about different forms and styles of leadership,
leadership opportunities (especially leadership roles in the union), the participants own
leadership styles, and the leadership skills theyd like to develop.
Participants are encouraged to stand up for leadership roles in the union, and leave the day
with a leadership plan. They receive follow up support from organisers, delegates and
network convenors after the training.
This years training was incredibly successful and will certainly be repeated. There were 396
expressions of interest for the training, but only space for 100 participants. This shows there
is a real interest and need for such training.
PSA has organised further youth activities, with the PSA Youth Leaders Hui in August.
This will take place over three days for approximately 40 young union leaders. They will use
these days to think about new ways of doing things (including reviewing the PSA Youth
rules and structure), elect new network convenors, and think about the future of work and
the unions role in influencing this. For more information on PSA Youth see:
