Waihanga Ara Rau, the Construction and Infrastructure branch of the Workforce Development Council, is making it easy for you to have your say in the future structure of the vocational education system.

You will have seen that the Government have started consulting on substantial structural changes to the Vocational Education and Training system.

This proposal has major implications for the future of your workforce, how people train, and attracting people into our sector. This will have long term consequences for our sector. This is a crucial opportunity for you and others in construction and infrastructure to heavily influence workplace training and career progression in construction and infrastructure for years to come.

Waihanga Ara Rau aim to make it easy for you to tell the Government what you think and choose an option that’s best for you and your industry. They will achieve this by:

Working with you and others across the construction and infrastructure industry to help develop a joint submission so we can present a united front with the Government. This is due 12 September.
Encouraging individual responses from organisations and employers and supporting you with information and resources to help you do this.

Waihanga Ara Rau will be hosting short informational webinars in August to provide more information about the proposals, their initial take on the options and next steps. We encourage you and your teams to book onto these.
