About UsWe are the New Zealand

Marine & Composites Industry Training Organisation, but you can call us NZMAC ITO.

We are the industry training organisation responsible

for the marine, composites, and marina industries.

That means that we set industry standards, write qualifications,

and programmes, assess and mentor apprentices, trainers, and

employers; and provide leadership on skills and training related matters.

Why TrainWith Us?

Why Train In The Marine, Composite, & Marina Industries?

Earn money while you learn.

Gain practical skills that you can use on the

job from day one.

NZMAC ITO qualifications are nationally and

internationally recognised.

The skills you will learn are in demand,

valued, and transferable to other industries.

Our Field Officers provide individual support

with visits every 8 - 12 weeks, wherever you

work in New Zealand.

New Zealand is highly regarded worldwide

as a nation with boat builders producing

high quality boats including sailing and

motor super yachts, trailer boats,

launches, and suppliers of marine

related products and services.

New Zealand’s marine and composite

industries played a major role in the 2017

America’s Cup, constructing both Emirates

Team New Zealand and Oracle boats.

New Zealand also manufactured support

boats for various teams.

With New Zealand hosting the next

Americas Cup in 2021 and market

intelligence report indicating steady

growth in these industries, now is a great

time to enter into an apprenticeship in a

unique, cutting edge industry.

There Are 4 Key Roles In Our ApprenticeshipsTHE APPRENTICE

You have to put the effort in and master

the skill and knowledge requirements of the

apprenticeship while training on the job.

You may also have to supplement this

learning by attending off-job training.

NZMAC ITO

We provide support, training solutions,

assessments, and mentoring to the

employers, apprentices, and the

workplace trainer throughout the

apprenticeship.

WORKPLACE TRAINER

The workplace trainer guides the

apprentice in the workplace training and

verifies their competence in specific skills.

EMPLOYER

They have to agree to train the

apprentice in accordance with the

NZMAC ITO training requirements.

INDUSTRY HEAD TO PAGE 17

Composites are a combination of two or more materials.

You have probably heard of some

common composite materials like

fibreglass and carbon fibre.

These materials are used across a wide

variety of industries including aerospace,

military, automotive, transportation, civil

infrastructure, construction, recreation,

electrical and marine.

Composite materials are often used

because they can be designed to have

better strength-to-weight ratios compared

with wood or metal. Composites can also

be moulded into complicated shapes more

easily than most other materials.

Working in the composites industry

means working with composite materials

to design or manufacture products.


WHAT’S INVOLVED IN

COMPOSITES HEAD TO PAGE 13

Working in the marina industry means working in a marina or boatyard.

What’s the difference?

A marina is where boats are parked

in the water, a boatyard is where boats

are stored out of the water.

Many marinas and boatyards have

facilities where boats are lifted out of the

water for regular maintenance and

cleaning. Working in the marina industry can

involve anything from operating boats in the

marina, helping people re-fuel their boats,

hauling boats out of the water, pressure

washing vessels, customer

services, and more.

School To WorkHow ToStart YourApprenticeship

School to Work is a successful, government supported initiative designed to give secondary school students the opportunity to experience work in the marine, composites, or marina industries, while Year 12 and 13 students are still enrolled at school.

NZMAC ITO matches students with

a suitable workplace. Students complete

their work experience on a part-time basis,

usually with 1 - 2 days at work and 3 - 4

days at school.

While a student is working they complete

unit standards assigned to them by

a NZMAC ITO Schools Transition Advisor.

These unit standards are NZQA approved

and are added to their record of learning.

Work completed is credited towards

NCEA level 2 and 3, and will also be

accredited to a NZMAC ITO

industry qualification.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED,

TALK TO NZMAC ITO

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

The main part of your training will be done on the job. This means you need a job.

If you are still at school, we can help find

you a placement through our School to

Work programme.

If you have finished school, and don’t

have a job, get your CV together, and

contact NZMAC ITO.

You can also have a look on Seek,

Trade Me Jobs, or if you know any marine,

composites, or marina workplaces nearby,

ask them if they are looking for staff.

GraduationThe annual graduation is a NZMAC ITO event which proudly acknowledges the success of graduates.

Following a dinner, a guest speaker presents every

graduating apprentice with his or her certificate.

Parents and managers are invited to share in the

achievements of the apprentices and to recognise

them as valued and qualified industry employees.

Most graduates take between three to five years

to complete their qualifications. This marks a

major milestone in the careers of these

apprentices.

Some of the graduates will consider the next

stage in their career plan. Perhaps taking on

more responsibility in their current job,

or undertaking further training.


Off Job Training Study GroupsOnline LearningWhile the focus of apprenticeship training is based in the workplace, employers do not always have the time or resources to provide specialised skills-based training.

This is why the NZMAC ITO arranges for other

providers such as polytechnics to deliver off-job

training such as scale drawing, lofting, welding,

marine painting and general engineering.

Travel and accommodation subsidies are available

for those apprentices that need to leave home to

attend off-job training programmes

(conditions apply).

With the support of their employers and NZMAC ITO, some apprentices engage in study groups with an external support to boost their knowledge and skill-base.

The aim of study groups is to supplement learning

taking place in the workplace

The NZMAC ITO has an online Learning Management System (LMS) called RudderLive.

Apprentices can log on anytime, download

their programme material, and study at times

convenient to them. This gives them control

and responsibility for their learning.

RudderLive gives apprentices a platform to

help them to ‘steer their training to success’.

Field Officers can use the system to manage the

individual learning plans and to provide mentoring

and other support services.

RudderLive has a range of features designed

to appeal to apprentices.
