More trainees, better industry training

National is changing industry training to boost the number of apprentices and increase support for apprenticeship training.

We want to make sure learners are achieving qualifications, and getting every opportunity to reach higher levels of education to improve their earning potential.

High quality workplace-based training produces more highly skilled workers, and is critical for building a faster growing, more competitive economy.

The changes will contribute to our better public services target of 55 per cent of 25- to 34- year-olds gaining a Level 4 or higher qualification.

They will help deliver a results-focused vocational education and training system to equip workers with transferable skills they can use throughout their working lives.
