Summary of review and consultation process |
As a result of consultation with the fluid power industry Hanga-Aro-Rau Manufacturing, Engineering and Logistics Workforce Development Council has developed a new qualification to address industry needs. After an initial project plan was established, engagement with industry began with face to face and online meetings. The development of a fluid power fundamentals qualification began through the formation of a Qualification Advisory Group (QAG). Members involved consisted of a variety of fluid power industry and provider representatives who offered guidance to develop a high-profile draft of the skills, knowledge, and attributes required of an entry-level learner in the fluid power industry. The QAG then re-engaged to confirm the graduate profile outcomes which cover all the basic skills, knowledge and attributes a fluid power technician will achieve through the completion of this qualification. Industry confirmed that the qualifications are suitable for their needs. A final consultation period was held on 23 August 2022. This confirmed the consultation draft as final, and reflective of the needs of industry. A survey was distributed from 2nd - 16th Nov 22 via various social media platforms to provide opportunities for the wider industry to provide feedback on the qualification. Overall, the consensus was the qualification meets industry needs and is fit for purpose. |
