Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: A lot of progress has been made. Preparations are now well under way for the 16 existing Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics of New Zealand (ITPs) to become subsidiaries of the new New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology on 1 April. Work is well under way on the establishment of Workforce Development Councils that will give industry a much greater voice and a much greater say over the training that is provided in their areas. The early steps of establishing the first two Centres of Vocational Excellence have already been taken, and there is a high degree of interest in that, and, of course, the Government is complementing all of that with a significant programme of work to encourage young New Zealanders to consider entering into trades and vocational education.
