Offender Management
The benefits of industry training
National qualifications training for the offender management sector enables New Zealand prisons to encourage a culture of constant learning in the pursuit of excellence at both an industry and individual level.
Training to national qualifications can offer New Zealand prisons a wide range of benefits, including improved staff morale and retention rates, and enhanced and consistent skill levels.
For corrections officers, national qualifications training offers national recognition of the skills and experience they have gained or are learning, self confidence, and further opportunities for development. It also enables those working as corrections officers within a prison to provide safe, secure, and humane containment of inmates while working towards reducing re-offending.
