Draft Strategic Training Plan available now for review

Competenz has released a draft 2010 - 2015 Strategic Training Plan and is currently seeking feedback on this from those in the manufacturing industries.

The plan's scope includes all the manufacturing industries within Competenz’s coverage, with the exception of rail and maritime operations. The plan identifies the skill needs of the industries Competenz serves, and Competenz's proposed strategic response to those skill needs.

The plan draws on a rich evidence base from both qualitative and quantitative research, which Competenz has compiled over the last few years. It's been drafted on behalf of Competenz by the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research (NZIER).

The most recent research studies included interviews with manufacturing employers, providers and other stakeholders. This plan also reflects current tertiary education priorities.

All industry training organisations (ITOs) in New Zealand must, as part of their skills leadership role, identify skill needs in the industries they serve and develop strategic training plans to assist industry in meeting those needs.
