Purpose
Our purpose
In a world dominated by an ageing society, the demand for the provision of care that older people expect and deserve is rapidly outstripping current support staff numbers and ability. The New Zealand School of Vocational Education and Trainings purpose is to meet that demand and, by extending Health Care Assistant knowledge and skills, to optimise the standard of care received by aged people in New Zealand. New Zealand School of Vocational Education and Training is built on a value system that holds caring, respect and knowledge at its core. As a training organisation we provide leadership in health care support by:
- Collaborating with stakeholders – aged care providers, health care agencies, sector organisations, peak bodies, and students
- Identifying training needs – present and future
- Programme development – actively developing and sharing innovative, high-quality training programmes
- Demonstrating best practice across the sector
