Vocational Education and Training Reforms

Guidance for making a submission

This submission guidance include notes and answer prompts to help you prepare your submission on the proposed vocational education and training reforms.

The proposed reforms will change how vocational education and training is arranged, delivered, and funded in New Zealand. Our construction and infrastructure sector is a large consumer of workforce education and training and will be heavily impacted by the reforms.

The Government is particularly interested in the views of industry and so we encourage you to respond to this consultation.

The answer prompts in these resources are derived from workshops and meetings with key employers, industry bodies and other stakeholders in our Construction and Industry sector and represent the most commonly held view. The answer prompts are a guide designed to make it easier for you to respond to the consultation. However, it is important that you tailor your response so that it represents your views and meets your industry needs.

A short glossary of industry terms is included at the end of this document on page 23.

The deadline for all submissions closes on Thursday 12 September 2024.

How to use the guidance

Read any notes provided, review and use the answer prompts that are relevant to your response and delete prompts that are not relevant. Or for responses via the online survey, copy and paste relevant answer prompts from this document into the online survey.
