Purpose▾
The purpose of this part qualification is to prepare a learner to operate as a Tissue Core Winder. Tissue Core Winder manufactures and supply cores to the machines.
Rationale▾
The Occupational Certificate: Tissue Core Winder is important to address the skills needed by current and future employees serving as Tissue Converter without appropriate qualifications. The industry will attract learners from the cohort of current employees who performed the function without a recognised qualification. Tissue papers are used within our society for social and economic reasons. The part qualification identified will formalise employment for many people and ensure appropriate use of skills for relevant jobs. Different career opportunities have arisen in particular for core making and finished product packaging. Qualified learners will improve economic productivity and quality of exports within this subsector. The qualification will contribute to the development of qualified personnel in the pulp and paper industry. Opportunities will now exist for employees to progress towards the Tissue Core Winder, further towards other related qualifications and careers like Pulp and Paper Technologist, Process Technician.
Learning Assumed to be in Place & RPL▾
