MEET MASTERLINK’S NEW TRAINING MANAGER AND DISCOVER MORE ABOUT THE NEW TRAINING INITIATIVE FOR MASTERLINK APPRENTICES.

Introducing Training Manager Jason Goei Jason Goei joined Masterlink in December in the newly created role of Training Manager. Jason will be overseeing the creation, development and coordination of training resources to aid Masterlink apprentices and take them to the next level. “My goal is to understand the learning needs of our apprentices and host businesses, so we can better prepare the future leaders of our industry through appropriate, flexible and applicable training resources,” he says. Jason’s background is in international business, logistics and education management. Previous to his current role, he managed the Training Academy at the Building Officials Institute of New Zealand (BOINZ). In his spare time, he loves making things—whether it be fixing and rebuilding motorbikes in his garage (riding them too!) or trying out new recipes in the kitchen.

Jason is driving the development of new training resources for Masterlink apprentices.

Please get in touch with Jason if you have course topic ideas you think would benefit Masterlink apprentices, or if you’re an experienced plumber, gasfitter or drainlayer and would like to add value to the future of our industry through training: jason.goei@masterlink.co.nz 04 801 2019
