The qualification-to-career pipeline across the variety of Toi Ora industries is currently failing this workforce.
In the exercise industry, for example, personal trainer graduates enter the industry lacking the skills needed to succeed, and 58% of them fail in their first working year.
Toi Mai has made great strides in tackling these challenges, bringing industry bodies together to collaboratively develop a fit-for-purpose qualifications landscape for the sector.
Toi Mai had the pleasure of chatting with exercise industry leader and co-founder of Revl gym, Gerry Salmon, to hear his whakaaro on the future of the industry:
Toi Mai develops and maintains skills standards, micro-credentials and qualifications for the sports, recreation and cultural organisation sectors. See every relevant qualification, including new qualifications and those under review.
Toi Mai has developed new exercise standards to help stop the churn and burn in the personal trainer workforce. Find out more in the following video:
In collaboration with conservation organisations, local government, iwi, hapū and community groups, we recently developed a new micro-credential and two skill standards for Conservation: Conservation micro-credentials and skill standards
