Workforce Development

ServiceIQ supports our employer, learner and government stakeholders by advocating for workforce development. This work includes agreeing the six priorities for workforce development with businesses in the service sector and developing a Workforce Development Plan based around these priorities. Regional Roadmaps provide a regional overview and focus point for the six priorities of our ten sectors.  ServiceIQ also has a focused approach to driving the success of Māori and Pasifika learners and improving adult Literacy and Numeracy Skills across the service sector. ServiceIQ also runs the Hinonga Kōkiri / Head Start Project

Workforce Development Plan

ServiceIQ, as the Industry Training Organisation for the service sector, has developed the Service Sector Workforce Development Plan following extensive business consultation.

The Plan gives a framework for the sector to work together toward achieving a shared vision of a world-class service industry through qualified people. Agreed priorities that will make the biggest difference in moving towards this shared vision are described, with examples of sector initiatives already underway to help achieve these priorities.
