HITO Independent Board Chair Report

Dr Flora Gilkison

The HITO Board has voted to rename the organisation the NZ Hair and Beauty Industry Training Organisation Incorporated to better reflect the industries we are representing. The term ‘HITO” will remain as this has clear brand recognition in the sector.

2014 has been a busy year for all at HITO, but also frustrating. The

qualification suite that we have been working on for three years is still

being held up by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA)

as HITO fights for the industry’s need to have assessment of the two

final units involve time in a commercial salon. As I travel through

the country and call into different salons, this stance is reiterated

time and time again. The industry expects that the final aspect of

their qualification will be completed in commercial salons. There are

constant remarks from salon owners that trainees coming straight

from a training provider are not at the same level as a trainee having

completed an apprenticeship.

Hairdressing is a real mix of both science and art. The science being

the ability to understand hair chemistry dynamics through colouring

and hair physics through heat. The art is double sided, the flair and

ability to consistently create hair styles and the art of being a good

communicator. The science and art competencies are required

to develop a client list and contribute effectively to the culture of a

commercial salon. All too often I am told by salon owners that they

need to either teach or retrain their aspiring employees who have

taken a hairdressing course at either a polytechnic or through private

providers. This thorny issue has been holding up the registration of

the hairdressing qualifications for a considerable time and should

never have occurred. What is required is a better alignment of NZQA

and TEC policies regarding tertiary providers and ITOs.

Independent Board Chair ReportDr Flora Gilkison

The good news is that the Barbering suite of qualifications has been

to NZQA for approval, and we are also well into the development of

the Beauty suite of qualifications. It seems that we’ve been working

with NZQA for a very long time trying to get the Targeted Review of

Qualifications completed.

The HITO strategic plan has several critical success factors (CSF) that

the Board uses to ensure our relevance and success in the industry.

My report will focus on these and describe how HITO is achieving

them. They are:

HITO meets apprenticeship targets, has apprentices who graduate

in a timely manner, and the industry demand for apprentices is high.

We have signed on more apprentices this year. However the mix

between first and second year hairdressing apprentices is not quite

as planned in the TEC Investment Plan. We do have good completion

and graduation numbers, showcased by the wonderful graduation

ceremony held in Auckland. It was a sight to see and an excellent

occasion for HITO. My congratulations must go to those involved in

supporting and staging such a meaningful celebration of success.

HITO has sought-after and innovative training tools.

We are in the middle of a large technology project with the expected

outcome that our training tools will be sought-after and that you, as

an industry, will find them useful and innovative.

HITO’s industries are growing in the NZ economy with wage rates

and business revenues increasing.

This is a demanding CSF for an Industry Training Organisation as

so many other economic and social aspects affect business. HITO

engaged independent industry consultants for sector information,

and it is pleasing to see that hairdressing as an industry is expected

to grow between 1.5 – 2% over the next year. Wage rates are still

comparatively low, but these are affected by just under 40% of

the workforce being part time.

HITO will be a top achiever of TEC’s investment requirements.

This relates to the number of programmes completed and unit

standard credits achieved by learners. It is pleasing to see that

HITO is in the top three of all ITOs and is thought of as a very well

performing ITO. This is down to selecting good apprentices, having

a very committed industry to ensure apprentices can work their

way through their qualifications and a very well engaged HITO

management team.

HITO has long term financial sustainability, audit reports not qualified

and resources used to grow the organisation.

HITO is financially sustainable with a healthy balance sheet and

surpluses continue to be made. The auditors again have reported the

organisation is well managed, and the financial policies and processes

well embedded and appropriate. The use of resources to grow HITO is

part of a technology project that is only partway through. The Board

looks forward to its culmination and the benefits industry will receive

from this project.

My thanks must go to my fellow Board members Anne Millar, Belinda

Robb, Christa Rowling, Jaye Clark, Malcolm Gibbons and Sharon van

Gulik (Deputy Chair). Also to Erica Cumming and her management

team who have shown strong commitment and who work tirelessly

to improve HITO and serve the industry.

Chief Executive Officer Report

Erica Cumming

2014 was highlighted by new events within HITO while other aspects continued as “business as usual”. HITO’s continued focus is on ensuring that employers have staff with the qualifications that meet the needs of their business and that staff have the opportunity to gain nationally recognised qualifications. It was also a year with a number of firsts for HITO, not to mention a few changes.

Name change

One of the most significant achievements for 2014 for HITO was

the change in HITO’s formal name. This change is a significant

milestone, finally recognising the beauty industry as an equal partner

within our organisation. Although it may not be seen as an obvious

change within the sector, for HITO, changing our formal name to

‘New Zealand Hair and Beauty Industry Training Organisation Inc’

recognises many, many years of work with the beauty sector.

First beauty apprentice

On the back of that we were also delighted to have our first beauty

apprentice sign into an apprenticeship at the end of the year. This

is a very new concept for the beauty sector and no doubt one that

will take some time to bed-in. However, there is interest from some

employers who say they would value the chance to train someone

inside their workplace and give that person the opportunity to gain

their formal national qualification as part of that arrangement.

Chief Executive Officer ReportErica Cumming

Boot Camp

For the first time, HITO ran a Boot Camp for the Apprentice of the

Year regional winners in February 2014. It was an action-packed two

days with Mana Dave offering support to this initiative. It is without

doubt that all seven participants had the chance to learn and grow

in themselves from this experience. The agenda included practical

hairdressing sessions, observation of how to work with makeup in

a variety of situations, and how to best utilise social media to build

a professional brand, along with the chance to learn some public

speaking tips and then to use these by doing presentations. As a

result of this we have had a number of these new professionals

offering support to other industry events and also promoting

apprenticeship pathways as a way to gain qualifications. We believe

this was so successful that Boot Camp will now be an annual event

for our Apprentice of the Year regional winners as it is a wonderful

professional development opportunity.

WorldSkills

This year saw us focusing on regional competitions in May, followed

by a national competition in July. Four regional competitions were

held around the country, with ten competitors then selected to

compete for the gold medal at the National WorldSkills competition

in Hamilton. Again hairdressing was one of the largest events at

Nationals and certainly one that attracted a lot of attention from

spectators. It was awesome to see employers, parents and partners

there supporting this group of young stylists. Over three days

we watched the competitors vie for their place on the podium.

Interestingly, each of the competitors got placed in one or more

of the eight events, showing that each of the competitors had a

right to be there. Any of them could have taken out the medals.

Congratulations to Jenny Eastwood (gold medal), Ashlee van Wijk

(silver) and Nadine Gratton (bronze). These three medallists had the

chance to continue to train and compete at the WorldSkills Oceania

competition in April 2015 where it was determined who represented

New Zealand in Brazil in August 2015.

Graduation

After some years of consideration, in 2014 HITO decided to trial

hosting a graduation ceremony in Auckland for any graduate

who had gained their national certificate through HITO. We were

astonished at the level of interest in this and needed to shift

venues when we had in excess of 80 people apply to graduate.

The satisfaction of the graduates was wonderful to see, but also to

observe the pride of the employers, families and friends was a good

reminder that many people are involved in someone gaining their

qualification. This graduation was also particularly significant due

to the range of qualifications that the graduates had gained. These

included advanced cutting, barbering, beauty, business, hairdressing

and nails. It is certainly exciting to see that HITO does support people

to gain a variety of different qualifications across the barbering,

beauty and hairdressing industries.

Hosting the Global Forum

As part of the work that HITO has undertaken being involved in

the International Professional Standards Network (ipsn), it was our

responsibility to host our international colleagues for a meeting in

New Zealand. In conjunction with that, HITO ran a global forum.

The speakers’ key themes were based on future directions of the

beauty and hair sectors. It was a great opportunity to hear from a

range of local professionals sharing their thoughts on where the

industries are heading, and also giving us food for thought on the

best ways to get there.

Continuation of reboot

In 2013, the government announced a reboot subsidy for employers

who employed apprentices, and for the apprentice as a way to

support them purchasing tools or paying for some initial training.

While unexpected, the government extended this opportunity to the

31st December 2014. While it is unclear if employers chose to employ

a new apprentice to gain this subsidy, it was certainly well received by

both parties. Hopefully by now there is a greater sense of recognition

7

8

for apprenticeship training, and acknowledgement from the

government that this is a valued pathway of training and education.

Qualification Review

2014 saw the continuation of the review of qualifications, further

explained in the National Quality Assurance Manager’s report. This

process has been much longer than anyone anticipated. During this

time there have been some changes in perceived policy within NZQA,

while the industry has remained solid on its view of what is wanted

from the barbering and hairdressing qualifications. For the beauty

sector, the process has been slower as some sectors have never

previously had national qualifications and are therefore taking some

time to get people to engage. What has been critical has been the

need for industry feedback to ensure that the qualifications that get

registered meet industry needs.

Industry Awards

The Industry Awards were once again a highlight for me. This event

is about taking the time to celebrate success and recognise those

who shine in the industry. Again this year the Kitomba/ NZARH

(New Zealand Association of Registered Hairdressers) Business

Awards were held in conjunction with the HITO Annual Awards.

This year the awards were combined with the NZARH hosting the

Oceanic Masters competition and some of their awards during the

afternoon. This meant that the evening event was sold out with

people filling Shed 6 in Wellington. Each year I talk about the fantastic

people who gain recognition for their part in apprenticeship training,

and this year there was no shortage of fine talent pitching for the top

awards. It was with much pride that we recognised Nadine Gratton as

HITO Apprentice of the Year, with Courtney Jackson as the runner-up.

HITO Apprentice of the Year is now a well-recognised award and

one seen as being a true career achievement. We were delighted

to have Jasmine McBeth’s family attend the awards this year to see

the scholarship return to Taranaki to new recipient Jacqui Malcolm.

Also from Taranaki, the Tutor of the Year Award was a hard fought

battle with two tutors, Kirsty Ryan and Fiona Smith, from Western

Institute of Technology sharing the award. Dionne Hardwick from

Salon One the Cove was recognised for her training skills with the

Trainer of the Year award, and True Grit Hair Spa from Christchurch

took out the prestigious award for Training Salon of the Year. It was

exciting to see the range of winners taking out the Business and

NZARH awards as well. It is a reminder that successful business

does not happen by chance; it is about good planning and training

of the team so that everyone focuses on the business goals.

360 trainees completed their qualification in 2014

As we wind up another year, it is important to consider the true value

of training. In some areas of New Zealand we have a lower number

of employers engaging in apprenticeship training. It is easy to say

that it is hard work training the next generation, but it was just as

hard when we were the ones being trained. We were once that next

generation. It’s true that training is hard work, but the rewards of

seeing someone gaining their national qualification and knowing that

you were a significant contributor to that also provides a sense of

pride. From a business perspective, it is also imperative that training

leads to a national qualification. Qualifications are the new currency

of our young people and also a guarantee of a standard of quality to

the public.

I wish to thank the HITO Board for their leadership through the year.

This includes setting the direction that HITO should stay as a stand-

alone ITO when there was much discussion regarding mergers, and

also the ongoing support with the review of qualifications. To the

HITO team, your work is critical to ensuring that HITO continues to be

a well-regarded ITO by government agencies and, more importantly,

by industry. Thank you to the team for the continued commitment to

the barbering, beauty and hairdressing sectors that we serve.

Qualification Development

Hairdressing

After three years we believe we are very close to having the new

qualifications registered on the National Qualifications Framework

(NQF). While this has taken a long time, we are pleased to have

worked with very good representation from all parts of the industry.

The Advisory and Governance Group have listened to all feedback

and developed a set of qualifications. These will be:

The New Zealand Certificate in Hairdressing (Salon Skills) level 3

This qualification recognises a graduate from a one-year full-time

training programme it has a high content of support skills as well

as elementary styling techniques. The graduate will require some

supervision in the salon.

The New Zealand Certificate in Hairdressing (Emerging Stylist) level 4

This qualification will recognise a graduate from a year two full-time

programme. The graduate will be able to perform most styling

techniques and a limited range of chemical services. The graduate

will need general supervision in the salon.

The New Zealand Certificate in Hairdressing (Professional Stylist) level 4

This qualification replaces the existing Professional Stylist qualification.

It contains all the skills the existing qualification has and some

additional requirements regarding health and safety plans and

portfolio work. Graduates of this qualification can work independently

and are commercially competent.

12

National Quality Assurance Manager ReportJason Hare

We also have two advanced qualifications to register with NZQA.

These will be:

• The New Zealand Certificate in Hairdressing (Advanced Cutting

Skills) level 5 and;

• New Zealand Certificate in Hairdressing (Advanced Colouring

Skills) level 5

Barbering

The new barbering qualifications are now registered. These are:

• The New Zealand Certificate in Barber Skills level 3.

This qualification recognises a graduate from a one-year

full-time training programme, and;

• The New Zealand Certificate in Commercial Barbering level 4.

This qualification replaces the existing barbering qualification.

It contains all the skills the existing qualification has and some

additional skills including wet shaving and developing a health

and safety plan. Graduates of this qualification can work

independently and are commercially competent.

Beauty Therapy

Work on the beauty qualifications has been progressing well.

A governance group has managed this process with working groups

set to represent specific disciplines. We have approval to develop

seven qualifications in the beauty field. These are:

• New Zealand Certificate in Makeup and Skin Care

(Introduction) level 3

• New Zealand Certificate in Beauty Therapy level 4

• New Zealand Certificate in Makeup Artistry level 4

• New Zealand Certificate in Nail Technology level 4

• New Zealand Certificate in Spa Therapy level 5

• New Zealand Diploma in Beauty Therapy level 5

• New Zealand Certificate in Specialised Epilation Therapy

level 6

Further work will occur on the following qualifications to endeavour to

get approval to develop these:

• New Zealand Certificate in Prosthetics and Performance

Makeup level 5

• New Zealand Certificate in Specialised Skin Care Therapy

level 6

Visit the Beauty TRoQ website at beautytroq.com to see more details

of the development of these qualifications as the working groups

continue to seek feedback and amend the content.

Salon Skills

The New Zealand Certificate in Salon Skills (Introductory) level 2

A new qualification designed to provide entrants into the barbering,

beauty and hairdressing industry with the skills employers are looking

for. This includes presentation, communication, understanding how

services flow and where they can provide support.

ipsn

This year the ipsn welcomed Japan into the network and have

benchmarked both their hairdressing and beauty qualifications

against the ipsn standard. This benchmarking brings with it a new

dimension of hairdressing and beauty therapy skills.

We hosted the ipsn delegates in September. They attended the HITO

Graduation and the Global Forum.

Vocational Pathways

Vocational Pathways is a career road map for secondary school

students. The pathways divide vocations into six pathways. It provides

information on achievement standards and unit standards that will

assist them in their career. The Vocational Pathways is also used

13

14

as a guide for Schools and Tertiary Providers when designing

programmes. HITO has been involved in this to set guidelines for

hairdressing and barbering standards, tied in with the Salon Skills

qualification mentioned above.

Literacy in our industries

HITO continues to have a strong focus on the levels of literacy and

numeracy within our industries. We continue to work with Off Job

Training tutors and industry trainers to provide support and strategies

where needed. We measure the improvement in literacy skills of

our trainees at the beginning and midpoint of training. Support and

assistance, where needed, can be arranged to align with areas where

the learner needs stronger literacy or numeracy ability.

2015

2015 will see some changes to qualifications and moderation

processes for the Quality Assurance Team. With the introduction

of the new qualification design, there will be new quality assurance

processes implemented by NZQA with input from HITO. NZQA

believe this process will provide the needed confirmation that the

qualification holder will meet the needs of industries. To ensure this

happens, we need direct and accurate feedback from you if you are

asked to comment on how graduates meet your expectations.

Moderation of training providers will continue for those that choose

to use unit standards within their programme. This moderation

information will be used as part of the evidence that the provider

meets the new quality assurance processes above. However, there

will be options for providers not to use unit standards, and no external

moderation of these providers will take place unless agreed and

funded by the provider.

Development of unit standards and qualifications will continue,

There will be some new skills that trainees will learn during training

for all industries and you will see these included in the training

manual and training record book. There are new requirements being

developed around health and safety in the workplace. These will be

in the qualifications.

The Quality Assurance team this year has included Tania Berryman.

Beauty Moderation and Development Officer, Maria Aiulu, Quality

Assurance Administrator and Merran Kopua.

We look forward to the challenges ahead to implement the

new qualifications.
