Ringa Hora, Toi Mai and other Workforce Development Councils (WDCs) are collaborating to create a Business skills standard for contractors at level 3. These are basic skills that a contractor needs, like calculating GST, interpreting contracts, and making quotes etc. We think these skills will apply to any contractor in any industry, so we seek a broad consultation to help us create a generic standard for our ākonga in any industry considering being a contractor.  

We are keen to hear from you and implement your ideas for this new and exciting project.

Some important questions to think about are: 

• Is the current content in the skills standard meeting the industry need? 
• Does it cover the industry you are currently working in?
• Are there any skills that you think a contractor will need to have from your industry that are generic enough to be mentioned in this skills standard?  
• Any feedback on the wording of the Learning Outcomes?  
• Or any other comments you may have.
