TITO Transitions
TITO Transitions
By December 2022, all Transitional Industry Training Organisations (TITOs) will have transferred their arranging training functions to other providers.
By December 2022, all Transitional Industry Training Organisations (TITOs) will have transferred their arranging training functions to other providers.
As part of the Reform of Vocational Education (RoVE), the role of supporting workplace-based learning is shifting from the TITOs to other providers (Te Pūkenga, private training establishments (PTEs), and wānanga).
By 01 January 2023, these providers will arrange and support work-based training as well as deliver education and training in classroom and online settings, so learners can move seamlessly across the vocational education system.
The standard setting functions of all 11 TITOs transferred to qualification system functions within the six Workforce Development Councils (WDCs) on 4 October 2021.
Legislative requirements
On 1 April 2020, TEC-funded Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) became Transitional ITOs under the Education (Vocational Education and Training Reform) Amendment Act 2020.
The Act requires all TITOs to develop a plan detailing the transfer of:
- setting skills standards, qualifications development, and moderation and assessment activities to the relevant WDCs,
- arranging work-based training (including apprenticeship training) activities to providers, and
- any relevant assets.
Once the transition plan is approved by the TEC, TITOs must:
- implement and maintain the plan; and
- support the providers to whom the responsibility for arranging training is being transferred.
Info for PTEs: This information specifically addresses how arranging training could transition to private training establishments (PTEs) only.
TITO Transitions Project
As part of the RoVE Programme, the TITO Transitions Project is responsible for facilitating and supporting the TITOs to develop and have their transition plans approved. The transition plans outline how the TITOs will transition their arranging training activities to providers.
On approving the transition plans, the TEC works with the TITO and the receiving provider(s) to ensure the transition is as seamless as possible for employers, learners and staff currently involved in on-job training.
The transition of arranging training activities and functions represents the first step towards enabling the integration of on-job, on-campus and online training to occur. The transition of arranging training must be completed by 31 December 2022.
