Skills are critical to the growth of any sector, especially in high-skill and high complexity sectors such as digital and information technology. The Skills Workstream of the Industry Transformation Plan is working towards solutions across the full skills pipeline.

With this in mind, we would like to invite you to participate in some exploratory huis, looking at different aspects of the skills issues in digital tech and what can be done to remove barriers.

These are not talk-fests. We’ve condensed these to 2-hour initial exploratory meetings, intended for those who already possess a strong background in each area. They are outcomes-focused and based on evidence about the underlying issues of skills in the digital tech sector. Our collective job is to come up with concrete actions that will address challenges in each area and together, transform skills in our sector.

These huis form part of the Skills Workstream of the Digital Technologies Industry Transformation Plan currently being put together by Government and Industry. IT Professionals NZ is leading the Skills Workstream.
