Strategic Purpose Statement |
The National Diploma in Employment Support (Level 6) [Ref: 1040] is a qualification for people who provide, or wish to enter, employment support services. People awarded this qualification will have demonstrated the knowledge, skills, and values required for the provision of employment support services.
People awarded this qualification are able to provide employment support with a diverse range of people, who may include those who are disabled, mental health consumers/tangata whai ora, and others who are significantly disadvantaged in the labour market for a variety of reasons. Their work is informed by knowledge of what it may mean for disabled people to live in a disabling society, and supported employment as a philosophy and method of employment support. They are able to facilitate career planning; explain and apply marketing and job development; and provide workplace orientation and training, and ongoing employment support. They can explain how to provide employment support and access services for diverse service user groups; and develop and enhance quality in employment support. They work within the framework of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, ethics, and relevant legislation, and are able to demonstrate an integrated practice theory for employment support. They work with a considerable degree of autonomy under professional supervision. The elective section of the qualification enables people to choose one of five extensions to the compulsory competencies. They can choose to analyse leadership, management, and managing change in employment support; support Maori service users to access employment support services; support mental health consumers/tangata whai ora to access employment support services; support a disabled student through the transition process from school to work; or support Pacific Islands service users to access employment support services. Whilst this qualification does not lead on to any other national qualification, this qualification may be a pathway to other human services and social services qualifications. |
