Tranzqual ITO

Tranzqual sets world-class training standards for the road transport and logistics industries. Industry training increases which increase the skills in these sectors of New Zealand’s labour force.
Skilled workers are better able to adapt to new technologies and market opportunities. Higher levels of skills drives innovation, facilitates investment and improves leadership and management.
Through this process Tranzqual assists the transformation of workplaces to attain higher levels of productivity, provide higher value work for their employees, and ultimately contributes to improved social and economic outcomes for all New Zealanders.
In addition to our training and qualification activities, Tranzqual has a role in presenting our industries as professional career path options for school leavers and mid-career changers including the following types of careers:

Truck driving
There are all sorts of truck driving jobs available; from delivering groceries to supermarkets, logs to wharves, building materials to construction sites, livestock to freezing works, and assorted goods to hundreds of businesses throughout the country.

Warehousing and logistics
Warehouse workers co-ordinate the movement of goods and manage warehouse and cool store operations. Forklift driving is a big part of warehousing.
Logistics workers organise the flow and storage of goods and materials from where they were produced to where they are needed.

Freight forwarding
Freight forwarders help businesses get anything, anywhere and enable movement of goods in and out of the country. They are sometimes described as the travel agents of goods. These jobs involve tracking transport, preparing of shipping and export papers, booking cargo space, negotiating freight charges and arranging insurance.

Bus driving
Bus drivers are particularly in demand in the major cities; for commuters, school bus driving, long distance passenger services and charter and tour operators.

Ports
Almost all of New Zealand's exports and imports are carried by sea and workers need to be able to load and unload them safely at a port.
This work is not as physically demanding as it once was. Stevedores need to have skills in operating heavy machinery such as straddle carriers and cranes.
Business administration jobs exist for the planning of ship loading and the tracking of cargo. Both use very sophisticated computer systems.

Taxi driving
Taxi and shuttle drivers are the primary source for moving business and holiday travellers in and around the country. Limousine and VIP transport operators are other job choices available.
