Are you concerned that graduates and learners are not being taught the right skills? If you’ve had issues with the skills that graduates have been taught, then we want to hear from you. Our role is to work with New Zealand to make sure the standards our vocational education system uses evolve to keep up with industry needs.
Does your industry need a way to recognise those with skills and experience? Do you want to professionalise or build credentials for your industry? We work with industry, peak bodies and other associations to set up qualifications that help your members prove they are qualified.

A qualification and standard can be a great way to roll out a common understanding and shared view of best practice. Does your industry need a way to embed standard behaviours? Contact us to find out more.
