Investigating training advisors in work-based learning in the construction and infrastructure sectors
Training advisors support employers and apprentices in work-based learning for a productive workforce. Focused on construction and infrastructure, this project aims to enhances vocational education in New Zealand, by analysing systemic forces for workforce development alongside future trainer considerations.
The issue
The Code of Good Practice for New Zealand Apprenticeships indicates that there are three parties to NZ Apprenticeship, one being the tertiary education provider.
The Code of Practice states “the responsibilities of the tertiary education provider are to facilitate the training and support both the apprentice and the employer throughout the apprenticeship”.
This project seeks to understand how different tertiary providers facilitate the training and support for the apprentice and employer during a training programme to support building capacity for greater success for ākonga participating in vocational education in Aotearoa New Zealand
