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
Nice one Katherine - there certainly is a lot of grey in that room.

3moHmm yes, I had a role once training field workers in the electricity supply industry how to record their work on an app using a tablet. Some took to it, most struggled. One even told me we needed a few more ‘birds’ in the office to record stuff 😉 I think it’s a struggle for anyone who hasn’t particularly embraced technology before, especially when they typically don’t need it on-job. But if they need it on-job…and their workplace is investing in it, then maybe they have to learn from the get go. Out of interest Katherine, did anyone say what these baseline digital skills are? Just curious!
