We’re seeking an experienced business leader and strategic thinker to join the ATNZ Board of Directors. 

As part of the Reform of Vocational Education (RoVE) currently underway, ATNZ will soon be transitioning from its current structure as solely a Group Training Organisation into a profit for purpose Private Training Establishment.

The new vision is to be New Zealand’s leader in innovative apprenticeship and tailored work-based training in the engineering and manufacturing sectors.

As such, we are well positioned for our non-executive directors to provide leadership to the CEO and to contribute to ATNZ becoming a commercially vibrant, standalone organisation.
