Industry training organisations

ITOs co-ordinate structured training for employees, both on-job and off-job. This enables them to gain a qualification from the National Framework of Qualifications while earning money.

ITOs are owned by industries, recognised by the government, and receive funding from both government and industry.

There are 39 ITOs covering most of New Zealand's industries from traditional trades like building and plumbing, the primary industries, and manufacturing and retail, through to government and community services.

The Industry Training Federation represents ITOs.
