The School Leavers’ Toolkit (Toolkit) is a Government initiative to provide opportunities for young people to develop the skills, knowledge and capabilities needed to successfully navigate their transition out of school and into employment, higher education or training. The four core topics of the Toolkit are financial capability,
civics education,
personal wellbeing;
and key workplace competencies.
A micro-credential is a way to certificate or credential learning for developing skills in specific areas. It is a package of highly specific learning to meet a specific or specialised need. They are ‘bite sized’ and are valuable in and of themselves.
We want a life readiness micro-credential proof of concept and prototype (the Products) that can change the education and employment landscapes, and is valued by employers, industry, learners, educators, whānau and communities.
For the purpose of this RFP, a proof of concept means that we want to demonstrate the practical benefits of a micro-credential(s) in schooling and broader contexts. We also want to identify the requirements we would need to have in place to successfully test the premise of a micro-credential. By using the term prototype we mean a first attempt at designing and developing a working model that may or may not be real-world usable.
We are looking for a supplier who can innovatively design and develop the Products to support and ensure people have the life readiness skills they need to engage in work and participate in New Zealand’s modern society.
We need a supplier who can think outside the box and provide us with Products that can be accessed in schooling and tertiary settings. Primarily we are focused on ensuring our school leavers are work and life ready and that core life skills, such as employability skills, financial capability, personal wellbeing, civics education etc, can be recognised.
We need to ensure that anything designed and developed as a micro-credential is aligned to the New Zealand Qualifications Authority criteria for the purposes of approval or equivalency.
No Winner No award was made for this requirement due to COVID-19 and other operational requirements in 2020. The Ministry would like to thank all providers who submitted a response
