This project will gather evidence to establish benchmarks on the current state effectiveness on what is working and what is not, what has changed in recent years, and the impact of a range of secondary-tertiary-work interface initiatives.
Research and investigation will be done to understand:
The evaluation phase of the project produced an interim report. Its findings are particularly relevant to current considerations for changes to NCEA and the senior secondary curriculum. The report solidifies the positive impact of offering New Zealand’s youth opportunities to delve into and engage with the food and fibre industry while still in school. It also emphasises the mutual advantages when schools and employers work in partnership.
The evidence and findings will now be used to inform the next two phases of the research project, including stakeholder engagement with employers and industry representatives. These phases will focus on policy analysis and a future-focussed outlook at opportunities and how current policy and operational settings could be more effectively applied at the secondary to tertiary to employment connection.
The next phases are expected to be delivered mid-2024 to late 2024, which will include specific consideration of Mātauranga Māori elements.
