NZCB Apprentice Network supports NZCB members who employ and train carpentry apprentices. The programme and resources have been developed with you in mind.
If you are an apprentice employed by a New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) member, you can join as a trainee member. This gives you access to the NZCB Apprentice Network, an extension of NZCB that focuses on making the employer and apprentice relationship as rewarding as possible for both parties.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT – Changes to ITAB due to RoVE
In February 2019 the New Zealand Government announced the Review of Vocational Education, commonly referred to as RoVE.
The changes that have occurred, due to RoVE will have a significant impact on carpentry and apprenticeship training nationwide, including the future of the Industry Training Association Building (ITAB).
Employers
If you employ or supervise an existing ITAB apprentice, our support and commitment to you and your apprentice will continue unchanged (*conditions apply) until they have either:
• Completed their training and graduated from the ITAB Programme; or
• Elect to withdraw or transfer to an alternative training programme.
Please note, the withdrawal of ITAB does not mean that your apprentice’s training will cease. They will continue to be supported for the duration of their apprenticeship by the Institute of Technology or Polytechnic that they are currently enrolled with.
If you have any concerns, please contact your Training Provider in the first instance.
Apprentices
Regretfully, ITAB will no longer be available to new apprentices enrolling after 31 December 2022. ITAB will be phased out over the next 2 – 3 years, while existing apprentices complete their apprenticeship training.
If you are an existing ITAB apprentice this will not affect you.
Even if your Training Provider has elected to withdraw from ITAB, as an existing apprentice, New Zealand Certified Builders under the ITAB Apprenticeship Programme will continue its support and commitment to you and your apprenticeship training (*conditions apply) until either you have:
• Completed your training and graduated from the ITAB or
• Elect to withdraw or transfer to an alternative training programme.
The Reasons for ITAB’s Withdrawal
The decision to withdraw ITAB was not made lightly. ITAB’s Board of Directors and Management, sort consultation from effected ITPs partnered with ITAB and from ITAB’s Industry Advisory Group, all of whom agreed on balance, due the RoVE reforms, ITAB will struggle to remain an effective mechanism to support apprentices and employers alike.
What is ITAB & What’s Next?
ITAB is an industry partnership between New Zealand Certified Builders and ITP’s nationwide. While ITAB will no longer be available from 1 Jan 2023, NZCB remains committed to quality training and support of Carpentry Apprentices.
NZCB will be launching a new membership service, replacing ITAB, exclusively available to NZCB Business Members. If you would like to know more, please visit www.nzcb.nz.
