| == EmployNZ Roles and Responsibilities ==
| |
| | |
| Listed below are the key staff member roles that you will have interactions with during your time with us.

| | |
| The '''Education Division Manager''' is responsible for the management of the Private Training Establishment (PTE) EmployNZ. This includes our Quality Assurance and Self-assessment system, the quality of the education resources, delivery, assessment, and moderation processes.
| |
| | |
| The '''Programme Manager (PM)''' is responsible for the quality of the delivery of your programme. The PM works alongside the tutors under their control and provide checks, balances, and intervention when there are issues.
| |
| | |
| The '''International Student Manager''' has the responsibility for developing and maintaining appropriate curricular and extra-curricular programmes for the International students at EmployNZ. Ensuring that the students are settled and ensuring that requirements of the Education (pastoral Care of International Students) Code of Practice (the Code) pertaining to the needs of the International students are being met.
| |
| | |
| Your '''tutor''' or '''tutors''' will be your main point of contact as you work your way through your programme of study. They will facilitate and coordinate your programme and act as a role model, coach, and advocate to help motivate, challenge, and guide you so that you improve your performance and succeed in your education or employment goals. Your tutor will most often assess your performance against the standards on your programme, however as needed an assessor may also be involved with this process.
| |

| == Treaty of Waitangi ==
| |
| | |
| EMPLOYNZ aims to fulfil the intent of the Te Tiriti O Waitangi (Treaty of Waitangi) by valuing and reflecting New Zealand’s cultural heritage. Our objectives are to:
| |
| | |
| '''Ensure the curriculum reflects Maori perspectives where applicable for learners.'''
| |
| | |
| We recognise that students, especially Maori students, learn by different methods. To bring effect to this objective, your tutor will build classroom cultures and lessons that ensure that student needs are met. A cooperative learning approach will be used which mixes academic with social learning experiences while catering to the learning styles of each individual. This ensures that lessons are intrapersonal (within oneself) and interpersonal (between people) using a mix of kinaesthetic (physical activities) spatial (seeing the big picture) and auditory (listening) methods.
| |
| | |
| '''Consult with Maori Stakeholders on effectiveness with Maori learners, programme content, and other relevant matters.'''
| |
| | |
| We encourage on-going whanau support, and work in collaboration with our Maori stakeholders such as the Te Runanga o Ngai Te Rangi Iwi Trust (TRONIT).
| |
| | |
| '''Support staff training in Tikanga Maori.'''
| |
| | |
| All our tutors ensure Tikanga guidelines are implemented as part of our everyday routine.
| |
| | |

| |
| EmployNZ will so far as practicable, protect the health, safety and welfare of all students, staff and visitors on site, and act in compliance with our legal obligations. To meet this policy, at appropriate times an EmployNZ staff member will ensure that you are made aware of all health and safety protocols relevant to your training facility, any offsite location, and your programme of study.
| |
| | |
| == Emergency Procedures ==
| |
| | |
| Emergency procedures will be explained to you upon commencement of your programme and in the first instance in which you are in attendance at a new training facility or offsite location.
| |
| | |
| Emergency procedure orientations will ensure that you are aware of the protocol to follow as per the displayed building evacuation notices and that you know the location of the buildings exits, fire extinguishers and fire alarms. Please ensure you have read the notices and familiarise yourself with evacuation routes and assembly points.
| |
| | |
| At regular intervals (3-4 times per annum) ‘Fire Drills’ will be conducted at your training facility. Fire drills should be treated as if there is a real emergency, as such when the fire alarm is activated you must immediately follow the protocol as per the evacuation notice for the training facility.
