Skills Work Stream
1
Skills Working Group
• Chair: Ruma Karaitiana
• Purpose: Look at how to improve labour
productivity and skills in the sector
• Progress: BETA has been taking the lead on
skills which precedes the establishment of
the Productivity Partnership
• Funding: BETA (supported by the Tertiary Education Commission)
2
From the Taskforce Report
• Ensuring that the sector has the skills and expertise needed to
develop NZ’s economic and social infrastructure
• This requires:
– being able to recruit and retain highly skilled employees to the sector
– the sector providing a rewarding career with multiple career paths at all levels, from
trade/technical to management/professional
with the result that
• talented employees will have incentives to invest in developing
their skills and careers
• skill levels and productivity will develop in the sector over time.
3
From the Taskforce Report
• Industry working with ITOs, tertiary education sector, Careers
and other Government agencies at a strategic level on a sector
skills strategy:
– Career opportunities
– Career pathways
– Training opportunities linked to career structures/licensing requirements
• Supply and demand for skills and the direction of training
funding
– Including management/construction management skills, not just entry
level or technical trade
• Structure of qualifications and assessment

ITO Role
• Legislation - Industry Leadership in matters of Skill for the
industries within their coverage
• Coverage – potentially constrains but focuses – some gaps
• Econometric Research - BETA had jointly collaborated in building
an econometric forecasting model with Infometrics Ltd
• Industry Training Plans – All ITOs have developed strategic
industry training plans for the individual sub-sectors within their
coverage
• Investment – significant investment by both ITOs and the Tertiary
Education Commission
6
ITO Role Ongoing
• Synergy – BETA saw the synergistic opportunity within the
Productivity work to give added context, meaning and application
to its work
• Collaboration – BETA is seeking to support the productivity work
but only as one collaborator and contributor:
Industry working with ITOs, tertiary education sector, Careers and other
Government agencies at a strategic level on a sector skills strategy
• This forum is the next step in spreading the knowledge and
understanding as well as the breadth of participation
