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
