Find my Workforce Development Council (WDC)
WDCs will give their industries and employers greater leadership and influence across vocational education. Success for WDCs will mean employers – including Māori business owners – are confident that vocational education graduates are ready for work and that the future skills needs of their industry will be addressed by the vocational education system.
As well as directly benefiting employers, WDCs will improve confidence and outcomes across the sector. Providers can be confident their programmes are relevant to employers and endorsed by industry. Learners can be confident their qualifications will meet employers’ expectations and national industry standards.

Minister for Tertiary Education and Skills, the Honourable Penny Simmonds, has announced an update on the upcoming redesign of the vocational education and training system.
This includes a return to stand-alone Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics and the disestablishment of Workforce Development Councils (including Hanga-Aro-Rau), replaced with Industry Skills Boards.
Rest assured that business continuity will remain a priority, and we will keep our stakeholders up to date with any developments. We expect to find out more in early 2025, with the new system expected to start in Jan 2026.
Please visit our Changes to Vocational Education and Training page for more information. You can read the press release HERE.
