Arable
The industry wants shorter training that is better aligned to core skills components and is delivered in sync with the industry calendar. Muka Tangata is working on how qualifications can be more flexible and transferable. Micro-credentials are one approach to creating shorter, stackable training. We will work with industry to investigate if micro-credentials are an appropriate method for meeting industry needs.
Latest update:
As part of the Agriculture qualification development project, initiated in November 2023, Muka Tangata will consult on the practical and technical aspects of the qualifications, and explore different options that ensure flexibility and transferability.
