New report provides support for role of WDCs and argues for a greater QA role
A new report by The Business Performance Team states that there is strong support for Workforce Development Councils (WDCs) from industry and other stakeholders and argues that there is a case to give the WDCs a greater role in the QA process.
The report is based on interviews with a range of industry and vocational education system stakeholders and a review of documents from the RoVE development and implementation process. It provides some background, describes the differences between the ITO and WDC systems and highlights what stakeholders value in the new system. It also identifies possible future directions for WDCs, including the suggestion that they pick up more of NZQA’s role.
