Reimagining Skill Standards

This talk explores the role of skill standards in lifting the quality and relevance of vocational training. I discuss how industry-informed standards can better reflect real-world practice—and why co-design with sector stakeholders is essential for meaningful reform.

Piloting Degree-Level Apprenticeships (DLA)

An introduction to the DLA pilot in New Zealand, a transformative initiative aimed at bridging vocational and academic pathways. I outline the development process, international alignment, and the potential of DLA to address systemic inequities in education and employment.

AI, Sustainability, and the Future of Work

In this podcast episode, I join the conversation about how AI and sustainability trends are reshaping the skills landscape. We explore what this means for educators, learners, and policy—and how the vocational sector can prepare for what's next.

In this international webinar hosted by UNESCO-UNEVOC, I share New Zealand’s experience piloting degree-level apprenticeships in the construction sector. The session focuses on how we’re building more flexible and inclusive learning pathways that connect vocational and academic routes. I speak to the importance of co-design with industry, the need for structural change, and how we’re working to create long-term, accessible options for learners across the system.
