New C&I training programme for New Zealand
New Zealand’s billion dollar Conventions and Incentives (C&I) industry is set to benefit from a new industry training programme launched this week, which will make it easier to take the first step into on-the-job training.
The C&I Foundations programme has been designed by the industry to meet the training needs of C&I professionals.
It is a “taster†programme that fits around workplace demands and earns trainees credits towards a national certificate in C&I.
Chief executive of the Aviation, Tourism and Travel Training Organisation (ATTTO), Elizabeth Valentine, says the new Foundations programme will help convention centres, conference organisers, venues and incentive planners improve their international credentials by up-skilling staff.
“C&I is a highly competitive industry internationally. Having staff who have completed recognised industry qualifications is crucial to attracting the high-calibre, large-scale conventions that will add value to New Zealand’s economy.â€
The new Foundations programme allows trainees to use the work they are already doing in their jobs as evidence of their skills and knowledge.
“It is a highly relevant and up-to-date training programme that gives trainees a taste of what they can expect from the National Certificate and National Diploma qualifications, making it easy for them to take the first step into achieving a nationally recognised qualification,†said Valentine.
