The RoVE Project Team provided the following update today. 

On 4 October 2021 six Workforce Development Councils (WDCs) – being established through the Reform of Vocational Education - will take over the standard setting and qualification development functions that were previously delivered by Transitional Industry Training Organisations (TITOs). The WDC establishment team has been working closely with TITOs and NZQA to ensure the transition of these functions is as smooth as possible for providers and schools.

  • Qualifications and standards

  • Interim programme support
  • National external moderation 
  • Consent to assess
