Hubs designed with real sector and community buy-in, can have a positive impact on people, businesses, and industries. To succeed they need a strong sense of purpose, aligned with needs and realities.

Over the years there have been many attempts to align formal, non-formal and informal learning systems, without great success. It’s time to better connect learning in the food and fibre sector.
A pilot is underway to: understand industry and host businesses requirements; identify gaps and develop a fit for purpose structure; and customise operational and/or training differences within each industry.
We need leadership progression pathways that embrace the sector’s diversity, scale, and rate of change. Imagine bringing leadership to the forefront of people development; growing ever better workplaces; and realising our leaders’ true potential.
We all know that the food and fibre sector is the backbone of the nation, but we often forget how it holds communities together. Being part of the future for Aotearoa New Zealand and providing opportunities for future generations is what people love about the sector.
Exploring the possibilities – gamification, extended reality, and AI – might create for learning and development within the food and fibre sector. To be competitive emerging technologies must be embraced in a way that adds value to people and industry.
