ATTTO and Industry
ATTTO works closely with sector representatives to ensure that the voice of our customers is represented.
Industry Associations are the peak bodies from whom we take our main strategic focus. As national member associations with the widest representation of operators, ATTTO seeks at all times to ensure their strategies, policies and regulations are at the heart of how we work. Key associations include those for the Tourism Industry, Aviation (including Civil Aviation), Airports, Travel Agents and Museums Aotearoa.
Sector Training Councils are made up of workplace and association representatives. They articulate the skills, education and training needs of their sectors in the short and longer term, advise on associated training standards required, and look after sector specific licensing/qualifications.
Industry Advisory Groups are made up of people with the high level of technical knowledge and skills required to build the content of a qualification. They are responsible for qualification and programme development and review, and industry consultation sign-off.
