About Blueprint
Blueprint for Learning is New Zealand's leading provider of learning and development for people working in the mental health and social service sectors. Blueprint's dream is to enhance the wellbeing of people and communities through inspirational learning.
In addition to education and training, Blueprint for Learning is a recognised hub of sector expertise, undertaking workforce research and evaluation projects for both government and non-government agencies.
Blueprint for Learning was established in 1999 under Pathways Trust to meet the needs of its staff. After introducing the first specific qualification for mental health support workers – The National Certificate in Mental Health (Mental Health Support Work) – Blueprint became a separate entity, in response to sector demand for high-quality mental health education.
Blueprint for Learning is passionate about people and their potential. We value the pursuit of knowledge and the difference it can make. But for us, our true reward is in real outcomes – the difference our learners make for people and communities because of their experience with us.
Blueprint for Learning provides a vibrant, fun atmosphere which brings learning to life, whether that training is in our corporate offices in Auckland or Wellington, your workplace or in one of our many external regional locations.
