We are now consulting on a proposed model for the number and coverage groupings of Industry Skills Boards.
We are now consulting on a proposed model for the number and coverage groupings of Industry Skills Boards.
The Government is proposing to set up seven Industry Skills Boards (ISBs) that cover these broad areas:
- Automotive industries
- Construction industries
- Infrastructure industries
- Food and fibre industries
- Service industries
- Manufacturing and technology industries
- Social and community industries.
As part of setting up Industry Skills Boards, some industries and sectors that are currently covered by a Workforce Development Council are proposed to be covered by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority.
These proposals are covered in more detail in the Consultation Document ISB Coverage (PDF 426 KB).
We want to hear what you think about these proposals. To capture your feedback, we have designed a short survey. The survey’s questions help to focus your answers on the aspects of Industry Skills Boards that are being decided now.
