The establishment board is made up of a group of people with backgrounds / interests in the ITP and Industry training organisation (ITO) backgrounds along with representation from the Tertiary Educaiton Union (TEU) and iwi.
The Day One Deliverables have been identified and there are 10 workstreams to prepare for the April 1st 2020 launch date of the new entity.
Plans include those required to ensure the NZIST is up and running at the planned date:
- selection of a Chief Executive
- establishment of implementation plan
- transitioning ITPs into subsidiaries
- Day one operational requirements --- etc.
Seven workstreams have been formed to work through the complexities of the merger. These are:
- student journey ma[
- employer and community engagement model
- education products and services
- work-based learning development
- new academic architecture
- online delivery model
- international education
Chair, facilitators and principal advisors for each of the workstreams and workstream members (10 people) have been set up (as of beginning of Ocotber).
“The prime role of these working groups is to provide advice to the incoming permanent NZIST Council in April 2020. The new Council will consider the suggestions and recommendations of the working groups as it makes future decisions,” says Barry Jordan, Chair of the IST Establishment Board. “Co-designing the work programme outputs with wide ranging stakeholders and educators is an important foundation for the long-term sustainability of NZIST.”
Now a bit of a 'wait and see' if there will be 'reports on progress' before Christmas.
