Feedback needed on big changes to NZ's workplace learning

Friday 14 Feb 2025

 
The NZ Government is seeking feedback on changes to vocational education that will significantly change how people learn on the job. These changes could impact training and career options across all industries.

There are two models of work-based learning under consultation. One model was called Option ‘B’ in 2024’s Redesign of the Vocational Education and Training System consultation. Following feedback from that consultation, a new work-based learning model was developed. This consultation is about choosing between the new model and the Option B model previously consulted on. These models are now called ‘Collaborative’ and ‘Independent’ respectively.

The forestry industry's views on these models are critically important. Individuals are strongly encouraged to consider the options proposed and submit their views.

The consultation document and information on making submissions can be found here. The consultation document and a document outlining the similarities and differences between the Collaborative and Independent models and the current model are attached to this email.

Consultation runs from 27 January until 5pm on Friday 21 February. Please note any questions and submissions should be sent to vocationaleducation.reforms@education.govt.nz.

Following consideration of feedback, the Government will decide which model of work-based learning to progress. Your organisation’s views on these models will inform the Government’s decision on which one best supports work-based learning.
