A new training programme leading to the New Zealand Certificate in Port Operations (Level 3) qualification has been launched by Mito.
The programme, designed for entry level positions in the port operations environment, provides specialist knowledge and skills in the heavy machine operation aspect of port operations.
“This new training programme offers a significant career pathway for port workers, helping to fulfil the training capacity requirements of the industry,” Mito chief executive Janet Lane says.
“We are pleased to launch this programme that supports improved job performance, enhances employment opportunities and reiterates Mito’s commitment to workforce development within the ports and stevedoring industry.”
The training programme takes 13 months with Mito offering ongoing guidance and support. Programme delivery is implemented in-house, where approved company trainers deliver the training and conduct assessment internally. Training resources incorporate a blended approach to learning with both practical and theory elements, and ensure training outcomes are nationally consistent and quality assured.
“This programme could not have been accomplished without the dedicated commitment of the Port Industry Association and members of the Education and Training Sub-Committee,” Lane says.
