MITO’S CORPORATE PROFILE

road transport, passenger services, stevedoring and ports, warehousing and logistics, industrial textile fabrication,
extractives (drilling, mining, quarrying), oil and gas (energy and chemical plant, gas, petrochemical), and resources
(protective coatings, resource recovery) industries.
LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS
The Industry Training and Apprenticeships Act 1992 specifies the mandated and legislated obligations of industry training
organisations. This includes developing and maintaining skill standards; developing and maintaining arrangements for the
delivery of industry training; compliance with prescribed quality assurance requirements and conditions of recognition; and
providing for collective representation of employees in the governance of the organisation. Industry training organisations
must also have regard to the needs of Maori and other population groups identified in the tertiary education strategy
issued under section 159A A of the Education Act 1989.
VISION
Empowering individuals and enterprises to achieve their full potential.
MISSION
Enhance the productivity and performance of the industry groups we serve by identifying and meeting their current and
future skill development needs to international standards.
PURPOSE STATEMENTS
(i)
facilitate education and training solutions consistently across New Zealand, for anyone who seeks to advance
their career in industries for which MITO has gazetted coverage
(ii)

standards
(iii) design New Zealand qualifications that are quality assured and internationally recognised and valued
(iv) resource our industries for the future by collaborating on skill and workforce planning requirements
(v)

GOVERNMENT MANDATE
The Tertiary Education Strategy 2014-2019 sets out the Government’s long-term strategic direction for tertiary education.
The strategy focuses on ensuring New Zealand has an outward-facing and engaged tertiary education system, with strong
links to industry, community and the global economy.
There are six priorities:
(i)
delivering skills for industry
(ii)
getting at-risk young people into a career
(iii) boosting achievement of Maori and Pasifika
(iv) improving adult literacy and numeracy
(v)
strengthening research-based institutions
(vi) growing international linkages.
Boosting skills and employment are reflected in the Government’s Better Public Service targets ensuring that 85 percent
of 18-year olds will have NCEA level 2 (or equivalent) and that 60 percent of 25 to 34-year olds will hold a qualification at
level 4 in 2018.

MITO’s strategic partners include industry associations, corporate entities, tertiary education organisations, secondary
schools, government agencies and offshore providers. All partnerships are based on realising successful outcomes for our
learners.

(iii) customer centred: focusing on our customers’ needs and the implications for our other stakeholders
(iv) accountable and transparent: recognising that we are accountable to our members and other stakeholders
for the stewardship of the organisation and the prudent use of public funds.
