PostSource: New Zealand GovernmentMore young New Zealanders will be paid to train for manufacturing careers, with the successful Earn as You Learn programme expanding into the Hutt Valley, Bay of Plenty, Christchurch and Auckland, Small Business and Manufacturing Minister Cameron Brewer says. To keep that momentum, manufacturers need a pipeline of skilled workers, and this programme delivers exactly that,” Mr Brewer says. “What makes Earn as You Learn unique is its rotational model. That is what collaboration between industry and local education providers looks like, and credit belongs to the Government-backed Advancing Manufacturing Aotearoa, led by Catherine Lye,” Mr Brewer says. “This is manufacturers, educators and Government working together to fix the basics and build the future, growing the skilled workforce New Zealand’s manufacturing success depends on,” Mr Brewer says.
