Lead Agency / Service Provider: Kathryn Koopmanschap/HTK Group
Objective:
To embed the Skills Framework within the education system, this project will;
- Develop the content of the Skills Framework so it can be used by vocational education and training (VET) providers and Muka Tangata
- Develop a self-reflection tool for learners to use the food and fibre Skills Framework
- Integrate the Skills Framework into strategic and policy discussions for the food and fibre VET sector.
Abstract:
This Project is the third in a series that began with the Training and Career Pathways project that led to the development of the report, A New Approach to Learner Pathways, developed by Muka Tangata.
The second project, A New Approach to Learner Pathways (NALP), developed the Skills Framework, which is a radically simplified tool that:
- Enables greater flexibility for ākonga and enhance transferability of skills across the food and fibre sector
- Is infused with te ao Māori
- Uses and prioritises Māori understanding of areas such as sustainability and wellbeing, that can be enhanced over time as future skill needs are realised
The Skills Framework provides an opportunity to provide an innovative approach to qualification development and positively move the dial for the food and fibre (VET) sector through implementation of the key parts of the framework covering the following areas:
- Core transferable skills – where current skills can be built on, in other areas of work
- Core technical skills – generic skills common to most industries in the food and fibre sector
- Specialised technical skills – unique skills or knowledge for a certain industry
- Bodies of knowledge – develop superior knowledge in a particular area
If you are interested in being a host to help pilot and test the Skills Framework, please email Jackie Lynch.
