2024 vocational education and training reforms

Our cultural, creative, technology and recreation industries are critical to ensuring Aotearoa has a highly productive and innovative economy – now and in the future.

 

The Government has been consulting on a proposal to redesign vocational education and training (VET) in Aotearoa. Submissions closed on 12 September 2024.

We are encouraging our industries to continue advocating alongside Toi Mai and ensure we are front and centre in the Government’s reforms of the vocational education and training system.

Toi Mai provided a submission (link below) which relates largely to the options within Proposal 2 – Establishing an industry-led system for standards-setting and industry training.

If you have any Toi Mai specific questions about the vocational education and training reforms, please feel free to contact us at [email protected]
