Muka Tangata Workforce Development Council
Muka Tangata is the Workforce Development Council for the food and fibre sector – we work on ways to enhance vocational education and training to meet industry needs. We engage with industries and education and training providers, offer skills leadership and advice, work on qualifications, standards, and quality assurance, and we’re keen to explore different ways of working to meet the needs of the food and fibre sector. We then advise government on what programmes and qualifications they should support and fund. We do all this is ways which honour te Tiriti o Waitangi and advance Māori Crown relations - we work so Māori can succeed as well as the other treaty partner in our sector.
