Summary of review and consultation process |
|
Employers, graduates, and trainees were consulted and surveyed through the Connexis website. Civil Contractors New Zealand Asphalt committee were consulted as the industry technical experts. These responses, achievement data, and an industry overview were considered at a meeting of industry representatives and recommendations informed the qualification review. Industry consultation was conducted using email, a questionnaire on the Connexis website, and the Infrastructure ENews. The Reference Group of industry technical advisers, including representatives from Civil Contractors New Zealand (CCNZ), considered the responses and a consultation feedback summary report was published on the Connexis website. |
|
Main changes resulting from the review |
|
The existing qualifications were discontinued as they are no longer fit for purpose. A new replacement qualification was developed to reflect the skills and knowledge required for graduates working in both bitumen or asphalt production manufacturing contexts. The title, credits, strategic purpose statement, and graduate profile outcomes were developed to reflect current industry practice for bitumen and asphalt product manufacturing contexts. |
