The new Workforce Development Councils (WDCs) become operational today. There’s been a flurry of activity and all of their CEs have been announced. Read all about them in the links below 

• Kari Scrimshaw, CE of the Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council
• Jeremy Baker, CE of the Muka Tangata Workforce Development Council
• Dr Claire Robinson, CE of the Toi Mai Workforce Development Council
• Phil Alexander-Crawford, CE of the Hanga-Aro-Rau Workforce Development Council
• Philip Aldridge, CE of the Waihanga Ara Rau Workforce Development Council

The WDCs will continue to build the teams they need. Virtual inductions are taking place for the WDCs to on-board their new team members, due to uncertainty around Auckland’s COVID-19 alert levels.

The Minister has also approved all of the WDC Establishment Plans. This brings together the establishment work and is a key step in the WDCs being fully established entities. 

And finally, the websites for the WDCs are now live. These will give industry and education providers information and news.

See the ‘Latest news’ section of the TEC website for further details.
