Understanding the changes to Vocational Education Training (VET) sector
The successive Governments’ reviews of the Vocational Education Training (VET) sector have brought significant changes to how training is structured and delivered. We provide guidance to help training providers understand these changes, from the current role of Workforce Development Councils to shifts in funding and qualification design. We also help you anticipate the future impact of these reforms on your operations, partnerships, and learner outcomes.
Navigating new processes and procedures
We assist you in understanding and implementing new processes in the VET sector, whether related to new qualification structures, reporting requirements, or regulatory compliance. We offer tailored support for integrating these new procedures into your existing systems, ensuring compliance while maintaining operational effectiveness. The most significant of these changes is the shift to quality assurance under NZQA’s integrated Quality Assurance Framework (iQAF), which replaced external evaluation and review from January 2026 and moves providers onto an annual cycle of self-review, reporting and discussion.
Connecting People
Our service focuses on connecting training providers with key stakeholders, including industry partners, Workforce Development Councils, and government agencies. We help facilitate partnerships that enhance training relevance and ensure alignment with industry needs. Whether you are looking for potential employers for your graduates, subject matter experts for your programme development, or collaboration opportunities with other training providers, we provide the networks and connections to strengthen your position in the sector.
