Project Showcase

Our team works with like-minded people passionate about creating positive disruption to deliver better outcomes for the sector.

Our projects champion vocational excellence, drive innovation, and focus on attracting and retaining talent.

From our inception, we recognised that simply publishing the research findings won’t significantly move the dial. To maximise impact we need to take a more hands-on approach in the adoption and establishment phases of post research initiatives.

Under Development
This is a unique opportunity to make a positive contribution to Māori VET across the food and fibre sector and, ultimately, improve the quality of Māori leadership across industries.
Current
A cohesive leadership framework with supporting systems will provide success criteria that other projects can leverage, to meet the current and future needs of the sector.
Completed
Rubrics were developed to establish criteria for the food and fibre sector to measure vocational excellence against, achieved in the design and delivery of vocational education and training.
Current
A critical assessment of the delivery, assessment and recognition of prior learning methods to determine if existing models still have currency and relevance, and if not, suggest alternatives.
