In February 2019, the Minister of Education launched a consultation to fundamentally reform vocational education in Aotearoa – the Reform of Vocational Education (RoVE). Six Workforce Development Councils (WDCs) have since been created, including the Construction & Infrastructure Workforce Development Council (CIWDC). The instrument used to establish these WDCs is called an Order in Council, and on 5 February the NZIOB made a submission on the draft CIWDC Order in Council.
