Forestry visit

It’s not every day we get to head out off the beaten track in the Rai Valley area. Here we are watching Jake and his crew from J&T Contracting as they systematically stepped through their Health and Safety briefing before thinning trees on the Kokorua block.

As part of the reform of vocational education (ROVE) #Silviculture crews have been piloting a new mentoring programme alongside the #JNCTN platform to issue credentials to trainees and mentors. Portability of qualifications, assessments, licenses and site inductions is a must for these mobile crews.

Thanks for the pre-dawn pick up Michael Bruce and a big shout out to OneFortyOne for hosting us.
