Education & Skills
Ensuring New Zealand’s businesses have access to employees with the right skills is an essential part of creating a successful, sustainable and competitive New Zealand.
BusinessNZ works with training organisations, education providers, government bodies and decision makers to optimise the link between what businesses want and the relevant training and education available.
This includes ensuring young people are leaving school adequately equipped to gain a job or pursue a fulfilling career by possessing commercially desirable skills. It also includes ensuring employees can continue to develop their skills throughout their working lives, making themselves and the businesses they work for, the best that they can be.
