This is a review of NeSI's training strategy from 2015-2017 that reflects on the activities and impacts of the strategy, and provides: a snapshot of NeSI training activities over the years 2015-2017 an estimate of the penetration of training activities in the research sector an estimate of the potential of NeSI training activities to provide direct or indirect support for researcher up-skilling a framework to guide how future NeSI training activities could/should be deployed - taking into account NeSI's capacity - to maximise impact Since 2012, NeSI has been building New Zealand researchers' computational abilities, with a focus on developing advanced computational skills. Within the early days of its Training Strategy, NeSI identified Software Carpentry as a leadership community in building researcher skills training underpinned by sound pedagogy.
