Muka Tangata launched the Agriculture qualifications development project on 4 March 2024.
Through the Agriculture project, we will review and develop qualifications, micro-credentials, and standards from Level 3 to Level 5 for Agriculture industries including arable, dairy, sheep, beef, deer, pork, and poultry farming.
Muka Tangata will work with key partners including industry, iwi Māori, schools, Kura Māori, trades academies, and employers to look at pathways from senior secondary school into our entry-level qualifications, and the suitability or otherwise of standards available in schools for that purpose.
The Agriculture qualifications development projects will be supported by our New Approach to Learner Pathways project which is designing a multi-level Food and Fibre Skills Framework to bridge the formal / non-formal learning divide.
Alongside the Agricutlure project, the Entry Level project will ensure ease of transition between different levels of training and qualifications and improve transferability of skills for our agricultural workforce.
We invite you to join us at wānanga around the country to learn more about the projects. We are also hosting a series of webinars to provide context to the Entry Level and Agriculture projects. Click here to find our more and register your attendance.
More detail about the project and how you can be involved can be found in the Initiation Document (linked below).
