Status: Draft report currently being peer reviewed by the Technical Reference Group
Planned delivery date: October 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.
