Promoting Career Pathways

For the past year BOINZ has been working closely with BCA managers in identifying opportunities and promoting pathways into the BCA environment. This piece of work began by understanding what a recruit may look like and what their existing development pathway would involve.

Councils advised us there are generally four different types of recruits:

1. New Cadets.

• These go onto the Diploma of Building Surveying with some Councils offering cadetship programmes 2. Those that have a Regulation 18 qualification but no experience. • These go on to complete BOINZ competency-based courses 3. Those that have a Regulation 18 qualification and experience in another area such as

Construction Management or

Architectural Drafting. • These go on to complete BOINZ competency-based courses

4. Those with no Regulation 18 qualification but experience in another area such as a Certificate in Construction.

• These go on to complete the Diploma of Building Surveying The big challenge across all these new starts is upskilling them quickly and effectively in order for them to add value to the team as soon as practicable. This year BOINZ has piloted and launched the learning Development Pathway Entry to BCA – Part one and Entry to BCA - Part two. These programmes are a collaboration with Councils to increase the competency of new starts effectively and efficiently. They will also be used to promote a clear development pathway for those looking to enter the industry. It is intended that these will also support new and existing cadetship programmes. What this looks like will be shaped by Council input.

The first intake of the Entry to BCA- part two commences at the end of August. Get involved and contact training@boinz.org.nz for more information.
