WAIHANGA ARA RAU

We work with industry and employers to understand the skills that are needed. We share this information with education and training providers, who create learning programmes that give people relevant skills to address future workforce needs... As well as engaging with industry, industry associations and employers, we partner with the Tertiary Education Commission, NZ Qualifications Authority, Centres of Vocational Excellence, and providers (Te Pūkenga, Wānanga, and Private Training Establishments). We also engage with the Ministry of Education, advocacy groups, learners, Te Taumata Aronui, government agencies, and schools... As a Workforce Development Council (WDC), we ensure qualifications align with industry demands and empower Māori business and iwi development. We provide industries and employers with increased leadership and influence in vocational education.
