We consulted on a proposed model for the number and coverage groupings of Industry Skills Boards. The consultation has now closed.
We consulted on a proposed model for the number and coverage groupings of Industry Skills Boards. The consultation has now closed.
The Government is proposing to set up seven Industry Skills Boards (ISBs) that cover these broad areas:
Automotive industries
Construction industries
Infrastructure industries
Food and fibre industries
Service industries
Manufacturing and technology industries
Social and community industries.
As part of setting up Industry Skills Boards, some industries and sectors that are currently covered by a Workforce Development Council are proposed to be covered by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority.
These proposals were covered in the Consultation Document ISB Coverage (PDF 426 KB).
Frequently asked questions
Consultation was open from Monday 28 April until 5.00pm, Tuesday 20 May.
Thank you to the groups and individuals that made submissions. Your views will help inform final decisions by the government on the number and coverage of Industry Skills Boards. They will also inform the detailed coverage provisions in ISBs’ Orders in Council. These Orders will be consulted on later this year.
