Summary of development and consultation process

Hanga-Aro-Rau Manufacturing, Engineering and Logistics Workforce Development Council has conducted a scheduled review of the Apparel and Fashion Technology qualifications between September 2023 and April 2024. The review panel included stakeholders from apparel, furniture and advanced textiles industries. Regular online meetings were conducted to discuss industry training needs and identify gaps, and to ensure the qualification was fit for purpose. Feedback from providers and industry highlighted a lack of provision of training in the apparel industry, so the decision was made to develop a new qualification that could be applied to multiple sectors, such as apparel, furniture making and advanced textiles.

Hanga-Aro-Rau Workforce Development Council also consulted with wider industry via an industry consultation survey and feedback received was incorporated in this qualification development.
