Kaupapa Hirahira Highlights

Muka Tangata has launched two simultaneous qualification development projects for all food and fibre Entry Level and Agriculture qualifications, standards and micro-credentials.

Just over 100,000 women work in our food and fibre sector, 1/3 of the total workforce.

The report provides an update on the export performance and issues affecting New Zealand's food and fibre sector. 

The biggest source of new entrants in food and fibre industries represented by Muka Tangata are people who have not worked in the industry previously (industry changers).

Our team has begun work on a Māori Workforce Development Plan (MWDP) for the food and fibre sector and are pleased to release a video introduction to the project.  

Muka Tangata and the National Trade Academy (NTA) are working together to support good outcomes for learners. 

Retention is a critical issue as it directly affects the stability and growth of the Food and Fibre sector.
