Summary of review and consultation process |
|
Hanga-Aro-Rau Manufacturing, Engineering, and Logistics Workforce Development Council met with employers and Te Pūkenga subsidiaries between September 2023 and March 2025 to review the qualifications listed above, and associated unit standards. A Qualifications Advisory Group (QAG) of industry representatives was established to inform the review. Online meetings for the QAG were held to discuss industry training needs. The QAG confirmed that there was a need to remove duplication and recognise the unique mix of skills and knowledge required to supply the industry with quality, qualified graduates. Following the review, two distinct qualification pathways have been developed to better align with the needs of both industry and learners. One pathway is tailored to trade qualifications, focusing on work-based learning, often within large-scale manufacturing environments that produce baked goods for nationwide distribution. The other pathway emphasizes foundational and generalist qualifications, designed for campus-based training and suited to smaller-scale operations such as local cafés and bakeries. These separate qualification sets reflect the differing requirements of their respective target audiences—large manufacturers and local artisanal producers. |
|
Main changes resulting from the review process |
|
· Two distinct sets of qualifications have been developed to better meet the needs of learners in their different learning environments. · Graduate Profile Outcomes revised to reflect current need and practice. · Credit values revised to reflect current need and practice. · Updating of Qualification Specifications section to reflect evidence requirements and general conditions for programmes. · Qualification award statement, evidence for consistency, specifications and transition information have been updated to reflect the change in standard setting body to Hanga-Aro-Rau Manufacturing, Engineering, and Logistics Workforce Development Council. · Due to the scale of changes above, the existing qualifications were replaced by new qualifications and will be discontinued. |
