Whether you're starting out in your ICT career or study, working your way up in your career, or an experienced ICT professional, NZCS membership has much to offer.
Membership of the NZCS is about striving for excellence, professionalism and professional development. It's about being a professional - working by a Code of Ethics.
It's about continually developing oneself as a professional, and gaining the recognition that those who believe in professionalism deserve.
It's about standing up for what being a true professional is actually about, and being recognised by both your peers and the greater community as a true professional, not just someone who "does IT".
As well as a wide range of networking and educational opportunities not available through any other organisation, the Society also works hard to deal with the many issues facing ICT and ICT professionals in New Zealand, lobbies hard to remove the barriers into ICT in New Zealand, and works with our international partners in almost every country in the world to further the profession globally.
Through NZCS you can be part of an international community working to ensure ICT professionals gain both the support and recognition they deserve.
If you're dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in ICT, welcome! NZCS is the organisation for you.
