Summary of development/review and consultation process |
|
Hanga-Aro-Rau Manufacturing, Engineering and Logistics Workforce Development Council undertook a combined review of the Fibreboard Packaging qualifications and associated unit standards from September 2023 to July 2024. An advisory group was formed with employers, Te Pūkenga subsidiaries and representatives from industry association PrintNZ to discuss how well the fibreboard packaging qualifications were working and to identify any skills gaps. Online meetings were held fortnightly and feedback from industry stakeholders identified that the fibreboard packaging qualifications were generally working as intended. In response to stakeholder feedback, structural changes were made to the level 3 and 4 qualifications to create new elective strands in case converting, case corrugating and carton converting to provide more flexible training pathways for learners. Changes to Graduate Profile Outcomes and credit values are outlined below in response to an increased focus on quality assurance in the fibreboard packaging industry. |
