The Code sets out the responsibilities and expectations of all parties involved in an apprenticeship: the apprentice, the employer and the tertiary education organisation. The Code has been impacted by several changes, notably the introduction of Reform of Vocational Education. These changes include:

• the introduction of the Education and Training Act 2020
• the transition of work-based training from transitional industry training organisations to providers
• the introduction of a code of practice for pastoral care of domestic tertiary learners, and
• the tertiary education disputes resolution scheme.

TEC will be contacting key stakeholders directly, such as those currently supporting apprentices and their employers, Workforce Development Councils, learner representatives, and business and union representatives. 

Consultation opens on Monday 07 November 2022, and will close on Friday 02 December 2022.

You can find more information on the consultation and how to make a submission on our website.
