Industry training organisation Competenz has three years to hand over its 20,000 apprentices, trainees and the 3,500 New Zealand employers it currently works alongside to the NZ Institute of Skills and Technology, according to the Government’s cabinet paper which has been released.

She joined Kerre McIvor to share what this will mean for the industry.
