ATNZ offers high-quality apprenticeships and industry-relevant training programmes designed to cultivate the future skilled workforce for New Zealand’s engineering and manufacturing sectors. We focus equally on employers and individuals seeking to work or advance their careers in these industries.
Our focused and supportive approach to training develops your future workforce, teaching them the skills required to grow the industry in the decades ahead. We serve both the industry’s needs and those who aspire to work in it.
Companies engaging with ATNZ often report significant positive effects on their revenue, cost-effectiveness, compliance, sustainability, innovation, health and safety, enhancing their recruitment pipeline, employee satisfaction and retention.
ATNZ offers managed apprenticeships and industry training programmes tailored to your needs. Whether you want to become an apprentice, host an ATNZ apprentice, upskill your current team, or hire new talent to put through an apprenticeship or industry training, ATNZ is the ideal solution.
At ATNZ, we understand what it takes to succeed in the engineering field. All of our Account Managers started their careers as apprentices. We don’t expect you to have extensive skills and experience at the start; that’s something we will teach you. We look for individuals with a positive attitude and a passion for making and fixing things.
We genuinely care for our apprentices at ATNZ. You will be paired with a dedicated Account Manager who will visit you at least ten times a year. They are also always available by phone to provide support and mentorship throughout your apprenticeship.
Training apprentices and upskilling your team members are essential strategies to ensure you have the skilled workforce needed for your business’s future. The current labour market is exceptionally tight, and the engineering and manufacturing industries are evolving rapidly. To achieve sustained growth, it is vital to train your workforce for the future landscape of the industry, not just the present.
ATNZ has been training apprentices since 1999, and graduates of our programmes have a higher completion rate than non-ATNZ engineering and manufacturing apprentices. This increased success rate is a result of the outstanding support we provide to companies and the pastoral care, coaching, and mentoring we offer to learners.
Whether you host an ATNZ apprentice or collaborate with us to train your team, partnering with ATNZ is the most effective way to develop your workforce for the future.
We understand that finding great talent is one of the biggest challenges faced by the Engineering Sector in New Zealand. That’s why we’re here to help you find the right candidate for your business.
At ATNZ, we believe investing in apprentices and trainees is one of the best ways to ensure a steady pipeline of skilled workers for every business. We run nationwide advertising campaigns across social media platforms and Trade Me to attract people to engineering as a profession. Every week, we screen around sixty people to find those with the right attitude and skill set to become the engineers of the future.
We allow you to search for candidates in your area, filtering the search by category, role type, experience level, and availability. You can browse through the profiles of our talented candidates and find the perfect fit for your business.
