Work with industry and wider vocational partners to identify workable formal solutions for Wool industry training
The Wool industry has acknowledged the lack of a successful industry training model.
We are already working with industry leaders and vocational education and training bodies to research, analyse and construct a workable solution for the industry. This work is informed by research undertaken by the Food and Fibre Centre of Vocational Excellence and work we are doing to map non-formal training delivery to formal qualification development.
Key steps:
- Hold an initial wānanga for a Wool Harvesting micro-credential development project.
- Work with representative participants to develop micro-credentials and standards for the Wool industry.
- Submit micro-credentials and standards to NZQA.
- Micro-credentials published by NZQA and available for use by training providers.
Milestones:
The New Zealand Qualifications Authority approved and published four new micro-credentials and five skill standards on the New Zealand Qualifications and Certificate Framework in August 2024.
