3-AD006.00 ENGAGEMENT OUTCOMES PROPOSED WAIHI NORTH PROJECT OceanaGold New Zealand Limited WSP April 2022 54 GROUP SUMMARY OF ENGAGEMENT- POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS IDENTIFIED opportunities for employers to work with MSD and receive funding. • No current OGNZL staff in training but possibly some could have qualified. • Skills shortage generally. BCITO supports school Gateway programmes which enable students to undertake work experience to see if they have aptitude or interest for post school seeking apprenticeships and qualifications. • Adequate resources to increase support for new trainees. • Key is for OGNZL to communicate needs well in advance. WINTEC • WINTEC offers hard trades with Diploma level trade skills as well as pre-trade training. The pre-trades need employers to take them on as apprentices. Since government funding has been redirected enrolment numbers have substantially increased. • WINTEC is open to partnerships and there is a significant opportunity to work with OGNZL to develop a long-term strategy. • WINTEC is open to working with other organisations in order to maximise opportunities and minimise infrastructure cost (e.g. sharing premises, using school facilities, etc). WINTEC hard trade facilities are based in Hamilton which can create logistic difficulties for some learners. Successful example was Waihi College that allowed their space to be used for courses after school hours. • Support a community impact forum or alike to work through issues to enable interest groups, employers and providers to work together to overcome the cost of providing infrastructure and maximising existing resources. AWF Labour • AWF is a labour supply organisation with 22 branches across New Zealand, but the local branch extends fromKatikati to the Coromandel. They are also supported from the Tauranga and Hamilton offices so have a good-sized regional catchment. They advertise on six platforms through BOP, Waikato and Coromandel primarily including AWF’s own platform, Facebook, TradeMe, Volcanic and Seek. Also advertise locally in local newspapers. AWF also has marketing support through its Auckland office so can recruit nationally. They have a robust tracking system of people currently and previously employed so access to good information for potential recruits.
