Forestry Trainer and Assessor Research Project

Originator/Sponsor: Te Uru Rākau – NZ Forest Services (TURNZFS)

 

Portfolio Managers: Fiona Windle (fwindle@foodandfibrecove.nz)

 

Status: Draft report currently being peer reviewed by the Technical Reference Group

 

Planned delivery date: Late August 2023

 

Lead Agency / Service Provider:  Research First

 

Collaborating partners: TURNZFS

 

Primary Objective(s):

  • To investigate future solutions, specifically the degree to which the generic model of work-integrated learning is suited to the forestry and wood processing sub-sectors. 
  • To provide insights into what could improve perceptions of training and assessment as a career opportunity and how these messages can be delivered. 

 

The enabling objectives are to test the hypotheses that: 

  • There are insufficient numbers of trainers and assessors across the forestry industry 
  • Training and assessment are not appealing career choices within forestry and/or wood processing 

and, in doing so, to provide the evidence behind effective interventions and insights into what could improve perceptions of training and assessment as a career objective whether specific to forestry and wood processing or more generally.
