This bill will help us to create a new system that's simple to understand and easy to navigate, that's responsive to the needs of learners and employers, and that's flexible enough to keep changing and evolving as the needs of New Zealanders change and evolve. This bill gives effect to our objective of creating a unified and cohesive vocational education and training system. The bill helps to create a new, unified network of off-the-job education and training, support for on-the-job apprentices and trainees, and newer learning modes like online and blended learning.
