As Canterbury recovers, thousands of trained and qualified workers will be needed across a range of industries. We’re increasing construction and trades academies places to ensure we have enough New Zealanders trained and ready to help with the rebuild.
We’ve opened another Trades Academy in Christchurch, to cater for 550 students, as part of our boost to trades training of 4500 more places nationwide.
We’ve also committed $42 million to the Skills for Canterbury programme to boost the workforce through on-the-job training and at polytechs and industry training organisations nationwide. We want to ensure that New Zealanders have the practical skills to help Canterbury get back up and running.
As the rebuilding grows, the demand for workers and materials in Christchurch will be huge. Our strong focus will be on removing roadblocks so that demand can be met.
