Project Title: Development of a framework for upskilling Maori construction practitioners in New Zealand

The primary aim of this study is to investigate skill shortages within New Zealand's construction industry and develop a comprehensive framework that will promote the inclusion of more M膩ori in high-skill roles. The framework will focus on different areas of high-skill requirements, including design skills that cover building codes, measurements, blueprint development, environmental regulations, safe worksite development, and computer-aided drafting (CAD). Moreover, the study also encompasses communication skills, such as leadership, teamwork, quality control, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and cognitive skills, like critical thinking, problem-solving, organization, and documentation. In addition, the study will look into technical skills related to construction management software, mobile apps, building information modelling, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), estimating software, and drones. Lastly, the study will also consider growth and developmental skills, such as coachability, willingness to learn, growth mindset, vocational training, apprenticeship engagement, independence, self-motivation, and time management. The study has two primary objectives. Firstly, it aims to identify the current industry trends and determine the specific skills that the industry urgently requires. Secondly, it seeks to develop a framework that supports the inclusion of more M膩ori in high-skill roles within the construction industry. Given the shortage of skilled workers and the need to address the under-representation of M膩ori, this research is of critical importance. Our team is honoured to have the opportunity to contribute to the development of a more diverse and skilled workforce in New Zealand's construction industry.
