We are excited to announce the expansion of our Degree-Level Apprenticeship Initiative, in partnership with the New Zealand Institute of Building Surveyors (NZIBS) and Vertical Horizonz New Zealand. This initiative integrates academic study with practical work experience, fast-tracking learners to become work-ready graduates. Key Highlights: 🌟 Testing the delivery model with Private Training Establishments (PTEs) to meet growing industry demand. 🌟 Turning professional development into recognised credentials. By strengthening these partnerships, we are helping to create a more skilled #workforce aligned with the needs of the #construction and #infrastructure sectors.

🤔 If apprentices spend roughly 70% of their time learning on-job, who is training them? 🤔 What do effective work-based trainers do that others don't? 🤔 And what (if any) training programmes and resources are out there that education providers and employers could use to support work-based trainers? 💥Find out the answers to these and other questions at this online event below! There are currently 16 people attending this free ONLINE event on Wednesday 24th July from 9am-10am and there are spots left. Come along, especially if you are: - an employer - an education provider - a work-based trainer - working in L&D - or just curious about on-job learning and training. I'll be sharing my findings, recommendations and ideas for recognising and supporting work-based trainers based on a ConCOVE Tūhura funded project to discover how #workbasedtraining happens in the #construction and #infrastructure industries. #event #traininganddevelopment #support #onjobtraining https://lnkd.in/gVjuE45G

Exceptional ability to connect people and initiatives. Strategic agility meets get s%&! done. Collabor-action artist.
Bringing some colour and future vocational education needs to the Quarry NZ conference today in Rotorua. Listening to Dr Paul Sutton share the learnings from the ConCOVE Tūhura funded project for the sector. Paul’s outlining the Fit For Future approach the industry will need to 2030+. The focus for the conference is The Future is Digital. A massive challenge for most sectors, not only quarrying, mining and extractives. Baseline digital skills have been identified in multiple ConCOVE projects as being required in #VET. It sounds like a no brainer right? However we’re not embedding this well enough through current wider education delivery. Side bar: most of this audience look my age or older (and male), what are we doing to upskill their digital skillsets? Looking forward to the panel discussion with Paul, Karl Burke and Daniel Le Roux from Rodney Aggregates. #futureofwork #concove #concovetuhura #vocationaleducationandtraining #VET

ConCOVE Tūhura's Kylie Taffard EdD and Nina Herriman are presenting two key pieces of ConCOVEs work at National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) 33rd National VET Research Conference in Perth this week. Kylie presents on our trilogy - three projects that focus on the training and support for kaiako (educators) in our sector. Nina will present on ConCOVEs Workforce Journey Indicator tool that provides clear data on how people enter, progress and exit construction and infrastructure in New Zealand. Thrilled to have these projects showcased at the event. Go well team! #constructionandinfrastructure #vocationaleducationandtraining #internationalresearch #futureofwork #concove #vocationaleducationreform

Why does a business invest in their work-based trainers? Since the fantastic ConCOVE Tūhura conference last week I've been thinking about this a lot. Why is it that some businesses value training and development? And others see it as a tick box? Below is my take on the potential issues and opportunities that exist around #workbasedtraining, informed by presenters at the conference, conversations with business owners and training managers, listening in at Waihanga Ara Rau webinars this week, reading various Ako Aotearoa reports and asking questions of ākonga/trainees during my own training days. If a business is focused on developing technical skills, the reasons for investing in training and development are probably: 1. To meet compliance requirements 2. To meet legal regulations 3. To reduce skills and knowledge gaps However, if a business is moving their focus to people skills and business growth, the reasons for investing in training and development (and on-job training) are more likely to be: 4. To grow the team 5. To attract and retain talented workers 6. Succession planning 7. Innovation Work-based trainers might be supervisors, but more often they're another tradesperson ready for an opportunity to grow and learn. Why assume they want to just grow their technical skills? How about helping them develop their training skills too? ________________________________________________________________________ Follow me for discussions about: -Recognising and developing work-based trainers. -Creating work-based learning solutions. -Leading people-centred workplaces. #workbasedtraining #workbasedlearning #training #tvet #apprenticeships #trades #construction #infrastructure #engineering #capabilitydevelopment #upskilling #humanskills #emotionalintelligence #culturalintelligence #futureofwork

If you are in Tauranga... Secure your spot!
Technical & Vocational Education & Training | Capability Development | Learning Solutions | Construction & Infrastructure | Horticulture | Trades |
Just four spots left at this event in Tauranga on Thursday this week! I've just completed a ConCOVE Tūhura funded project to discover how #workbased #training happens in the #construction and #infrastructure industries. This event is especially for employers, education providers, trainers and anyone working in L&D. I'll be sharing my findings, recommendations and ideas for recognising and supporting work-based trainers. I'll be talking about... ✅ Who is training apprentices on-job? ✅ Why do they do it? ✅ What skills and knowledge are needed to become an effective work-based trainer? ✅ A framework to easily recognise and support effective work-based training. ✅ Opportunities for tertiary education providers to better support employers with training. ✅ Suggestions for employers about how to encourage a training mindset at work. ✅ Existing (and often free!) training solutions that will support employers and work-based trainers. Join me for a kōrero around work-based training at Basestation Coworking Space in Tauranga on Thursday July 11th from 9am-10am by clicking the link below. If you're out of town, or can't make this one I'll be holding an online version on 24th July. Let me know if you'd like to attend. #event #trainingandevelopment #upskilling #support https://lnkd.in/gXj34Hvr
