Ep. 108 | Skill set reset, vocational education at a crossroad


Listen on your favourite podcast platform


In this episode of Stirring the Pot we’re having a kōrero with Phil Alexander-Crawford.

As CEO at Hanga Aro Rau Workforce Development Council (WDC), Phil leads the discussion on transforming vocational education, forging strong industry partnerships, and embracing workforce diversity.

Phil breaks down the staggering need to fill over 157,000 jobs by 2029 in key sectors like manufacturing, engineering, and logistics and stresses the importance of teaming up with vocational education providers to ensure a steady pipeline of skilled workers.

This episode also delves into upcoming government proposals and the significant role of industry in shaping a future-ready vocational education system, as well as the mahi  of WDCs in aligning education with industry needs.
