We are working with Pork NZ and partners to review two key qualifications for the industry group.
The qualification and unit standards associated with the qualifications have now passed their scheduled review date, so this is an opportunity to investigate whether they are still fit for purpose.
We will draw on the expertise of industry to ensure that the qualifications, and any standards that we review or develop, serve the needs of ākonga/learners and are up to date with current industry requirements.
