Learning Representatives
The Learning Representatives Programme is part of a major government initiative to increase the participation of working people in learning at work.
Learning Reps are elected by their co-workers to play a leadership role in encouraging workplace learning. A full training programme to NZQA standards is available to support them in this role. Reps learn about the connection between skills and productivity, what is on offer from their Industry Training Organisation or local providers, how to encourage their co-workers into learning opportunities and, in particular, how to take those important first steps towards qualifications. Reps learn the fundamentals of adult education, handling literacy issues, and promoting learning as a group activity.
