Infrastructure Works Sector Qualifications
Wider Industry Feedback

The Infrastructure Works sector qualifications review commenced with an Infrastructure Sector Consultation Meeting for all stakeholders on 1-3 May 2012 in Wellington.

As a result of that meeting a draft Workforce Development Plan and Infrastructure Works Qualification Matrix were developed, a number of Working Groups established to further develop the strategic purpose statements, graduate profile outcomes, and graduate pathways identified at the Sector Consultation Group meeting, and Governance Group established to oversee the Working Groups outcomes.

Working Groups

Eight Working Groups were initially established for Civil, Surfacing, Utilities, Rural Contracting, Roadmarking, Civil Laboratories, Demolitions and Infrastructure Works. Because of the commonalities across the Civil, Surfacing and Utilities sectors, these three working groups were combined. The Demolitions Working Group was cancelled due to difficulties in engaging with the sector.

Thank you to the members of the working groups for their invaluable input into this part of the review.

Next Steps

In 2013, InfraTrain, in conjunction with industry and other stakeholders, will look at the details of how to achieve the graduate outcomes. This will include identifying appropriate unit standards, and/or any licencing/course/experience requirements; along with programme development.
