Upskilling with NMIT: Team training from the ground up
You need skilled staff, but first, they need the training. We see the problem, and we have a solution.
Aquaculture, horticulture and viticulture businesses in the primary industry sector are finding it tough. Staff shortages go beyond a lack of applications. It’s a lack of skill. NMIT offers partnerships with employers to help staff develop critical skills on-site.
From basic primary industry skills to business management, NMIT has the answer.
Management can find it challenging to understand the best approach to training staff. Limited resources in the workplace may be available to support effective learning, and accommodating unique learning styles may also be difficult to achieve.
NMIT’s primary industry managers and team leaders are also supported with programmes designed to build their business and management skills so our regional workforce thrives.
New programmes available to start now include:
- New Zealand Diploma in Primary Industry Business Management (external link)
- Leadership for Primary Industries(external link)
- Project Management for Primary Industries(external link)
NMIT Primary Industries Curriculum Manager Pam Wood says having national industry training partners onboard brings substantial student benefits.
“When students are working, as well as studying online through NMIT, pastoral care is very important,” says Pam. “With our partners involved, there is someone there to walk the students through their study on-site, helping when needed, and ensuring they are successful.” |
Study no longer needs to be daunting as learners don’t have to go through it alone.
Learner confidence is boosted as employers are involved with their training at NMIT. Business owners and managers can focus on their productivity goals, relieving themselves of the stress and confusion that training staff requires.
Education shouldn’t be boring, and upskilling staff should be a positive experience. With NMIT, students can learn and work, becoming confident in their abilities to make a difference for our region.
