The future is always right in front of us. Sometimes we prepare for it and other times we wait and see what happens. The waiting game generally achieves nothing and we get what others believe we should have. The Federation tries to prepare as much as possible so we as an industry can get the best deal possible. We are continually voicing our opinion and making suggestions. At the moment, the main priority is New Zealand Qualifications (NZQA), apprenticeships and registration categories.

We believe these three issues are having a huge impact on the regulation of the industry. A lot goes on behind the scenes with regard to policies and procedures and there is always something in the media regarding qualifications and careers.

This week we share with you a few of the items picked up from the media. All of these issues can affect us now and in the future so we need to prepare for them and be knowledgeable about what we need.
