The Education Amendment Bill has been passed which includes establishing workforce development councils and centres of vocational excellence introducing a new focus for the government on trades and vocational education. Under the bill the New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology will bring together all 16 polytechnics and institutes of technology to provide, arrange and support vocational education and training across the country.

A report commissioned by Deloitte released this year suggests that over the next decade, Australia will face significant skills shortages. And while the government has a significant role to play, addressing the human skills shortage is everyone’s responsibility. Businesses, and even individuals, have the opportunity to proactively focus on human skills. Doing so could unlock more human capital to power the economy going forward.”
Nearly nine in ten (87.7%) apprentices and trainees who complete their training are employed afterwards, with those who secure full-time work earning a median annual income of $59 600, according to a new report released today by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER).
The report Apprentice and Trainee Experience and Destinations 2019 also shows that for those employed full-time after their training, the median annual income of completers was $12,700 more than for non-completers.
“Outcomes for completers in trade occupations are particularly good, with 91.5 percent employed after training and 84.2 percent in full-time work with a median annual income $62 800,” said Simon Walker, Managing Director, NCVER.
“Completers in non-trade occupations also do well, with 85.0 percent employed after training and 59.9 percent in full-time work earning a median annual income of $54 700.”
The report shows there are a range of reasons why apprentices and trainees don’t complete their training, from realising they don’t like the work to not getting on with the boss or other people in their workplace.
Apprentice and Trainee Experience and Destinations 2019 summarises the responses of over 11 000 apprentices and trainees who completed (completers) or cancelled or withdrew (non-completers) from an apprenticeship or traineeship during 2018.
The data was collected in mid-2019 as part of the Apprentice and Trainee Experience and Destination Survey.
The full report and more information about the survey are available on our Portal.
