Katherine Hall, CEO of ConCOVE, joins the Master Builders Elevate podcast to talk about the future of trades in New Zealand and why now is the time to invest in it. She shares the trends reshaping vocational training, including why most construction apprentices don’t start until 27, and what we need to do to better support them: from smarter pathways and stronger employer-apprentice support, to rethinking how we treat each other on site.Ryan and Katherine discuss why New Zealand needs a national apprenticeship strategy, how pastoral care can make or break learner success, what bystander theory reveals about creating safer, more inclusive worksites, and why employers should be actively building relationships with schools.Whether you’re a business owner looking to bring on your first apprentice or a seasoned operator wondering what’s next for the workforce, this episode is full of insights and ideas to help you future-proof your team and your trade.Useful links: www.concove.ac.nzFunding of vocational education for the construction and infrastructure sector discussion paperOverview pageConnect with Katherine Hall on LinkedInWhere else you can find usWebsite: https://www.masterbuilder.org.nz/Elevate Platform: http://elevate.masterbuilder.org.nzInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/masterbuildernz/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/registeredmasterbuildersYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmh_9vl0pFf0zSB6N7RrVeg
