FOR DETAILS AND VIDEO UPLOADS, VISIT: W W W.GE TRE AL.C O.NZ/WIN MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Kia ora everyone and welcome to the first BC News for 2014. RUMA KARAITIANA CHIEF EXECUTIVE We have started this year as a very different organisation by merging with the Joinery ITO along with DecorateNZ and FloorNZ. This means we have a new audience of employers, apprentices and other stakeholders reading the BC News for the first time – welcome to you all. You are part of a long held ambition which now brings most of the construction trades into the coverage of the one ITO. All three merging ITOs are changing in this process with an objective of improving our services to you, as well as delivering great educational outcomes. The merger has brought together great trades and great people; you will see this edition features a joiner, a decorator and a flooring contractor. An important part of the next stage will be to conduct a comprehensive review of the specialist trades which we are in the process of getting underway. This review will look at each individual trade and consider whether, in this new environment, we can enhance our service and educational outcomes. We have adopted the theme “Together as One” and unsurprisingly, that is also the theme of this BC News. 2014 is shaping up to be a different year for the industry generally. The news media is constantly running stories about the expected high demand of the Christchurch rebuild, housing shortages in Auckland and a general lift in activity across the country. This is not just media hype. Hard data and research support the view that our industry is steadily moving into a significant and sustained boom period. For the BCITO, this means our numbers are rapidly increasing. We now need to manage growth to carry out our role of delivering high quality, trained and qualified people into the construction industry. However, this forward demand is so great that we know we will not be able to do enough to meet it. To maximise our delivery we need to work efficiently and effectively, as well as consider new digital opportunities such as e-learning. Along with the rest of the industry we are enjoying these positive, exciting times after a tough few years. GOODBYE AND BON VOYAGE After nearly 15 years as an integral member of the BCITO team, BCITO Group Manager, Paul Mitchell is leaving to pursue his love of yachts, the Mediterranean and perpetual summer. Since completing his own apprenticeship, Paul has worked as a builder, a BCITO Training Advisor, a Regional Manager, a Training Manager and, for the last 5 years, has been a key part of our Executive Leadership team as Group Manager of Support Services. When looking back over Paul’s career highlights at the BCITO, where do you start? He was our first Training and Development Manager, and then our first Human Resources Manager. Upon completing his Master of Business Administration, he became the first Training Advisor to progress through the organisation to Group Manager, where he implemented our business planning processes, introduced accurate forecasting and built a dedicated team of professionals, as passionate as he is about our industry. He also has more Hawaiian shirts than anyone else at the BCITO, and puts on an amazing Christmas ham! All in all, Paul’s contributions to the BCITO and the building industry have been considerable and long reaching. His story really emphasises the career opportunities available in the construction sector. We are delighted that, after so much professional success, Paul has finally been able to realise his personal dream as he quite literally, sails off into the sunset. We are pleased to announce that, from April 2014, Paul’s position will be filled by Bruce Horsley, currently General Manager of Apprentice Training. 4 BCITO IS OUTWARD BOUND Every year the BCITO gives a group of specialist trade apprentices the chance to step outside their comfort zone with the BCITO Outward Bound Scholarship – a life-changing, 21 day Outward Bound adventure at Anakiwa in the Marlborough Sounds.

Real people, real stories, real career paths. We love celebrating the real people who make our industry what it is. This issue we talk to apprentices and trade specialists from our newest industry partners; Flooring, Decorating and Joinery. Meet Painter, Mauricio Giancaspero Name: Mauricio Giancaspero Age: 36 From: Chile – working in Christchurch Years in Apprenticeship: 1 Working towards: National Certificate in Painting & Decorating (Level 4, endorsed in Spray Techniques and Wall Coverings) Employer: Dyck Decorators Ltd Training Advisor: Verina Jones “I’ve been working in New Zealand for nearly four years. I moved from my home in Chile, in the middle of 2010, for a better lifestyle and for more career opportunities. “Before I came to New Zealand, I didn’t know much about painting and decorating. In Chile I’d studied business management and for the last year or so I’d been a selfemployed massage therapist and worked part-time as a life guard. “When I first arrived in Auckland, my English wasn’t great so I could only really work for Latin speaking employers. One of the jobs I got was with a painter and decorator. I really enjoyed working in the painting trade and the sense of satisfaction I got, looking at a finished job. That’s how I got started in painting. “To continue to live and work in New Zealand, I needed to extend my work visa. The skills shortage in Christchurch and the demand for tradespeople in my field meant that I could do that. I moved to Christchurch at the beginning of 2012 and started working for my current employers. “Doing this job, especially in Christchurch, is about making people happy. As a painter, you feel like an artist, making the environment more beautiful. “In Christchurch there are people who suffered, who are still suffering, the loss and damage caused by the earthquakes. People want you to beautify their homes, make the city look new again, improve the landscape of their neighbourhood, make it clean and give them a fresh start. “Since starting my apprenticeship I’ve learned a lot. I understand more about health and safety, the environmental impact of what I do and about the different techniques and skills that I will need as a qualified painter. “I think in painting, the hardest thing to learn is to ‘cut in’ properly; to turn the brush on its edge to get the best result. Attention to detail and good preparation are the key things in my job. “You also need to listen, to watch and learn and then try to apply what you have learned in your daily practice – and you need to study. “My employers are great to work for. They’re really good with health and safety and they make me feel like part of the team. They really care about the people who work here. “The most important thing a boss can do is to share his or her skills. They need to be patient and to take their time to teach the right techniques and watch their employees to make sure they have understood. Keeping an eye on your apprentice’s work, techniques and progress means that you can be sure that they are doing the right thing, every time. “Doing an apprenticeship and earning while you are getting a qualification is great, especially when you’re an immigrant. Normally when you’re a full time student, you have no time to work – so you have no money. Getting paid to learn and to improve yourself is fantastic. “Only God can say where I will be in ten years time but once I’m qualified, I’ll be proud to be a professional man and to give back to this country.” PAINTING AND DECORATING The painting and decorating industry is made up of trades specialists with qualifications in: > Painting and Decorating > Spray Techniques > Wall Coverings 7 NEW YEAR, NEW PARTNERS, NEW STORIES continued Meet Flooring Installer, Grant Bannister Name: Grant Bannister Age: 22 From: Pukekohe Years in Apprenticeship: Newly Qualified (started 2010) Just completed: National Certificate in Flooring (Level 4, in Resilient Flooring Installation, Carpet Installation and Substrate Preparation) Employer: JBS Flooring Xtra, Pukekohe Training Advisor: Lance Croawell “I left school – at the end of year 12 with Level 2 NCEA and a qualification in Computer Assisted Design from MIT. “I went straight into a job at an auto electrical business which I had thought would be a long-term position. Working on cars is one of my hobbies and while I learned some great skills, as a career, it wasn’t a good fit. I stayed there for about six months and it helped me to realise that what I wanted in a job was something more people focussed with more variety. “When I left that job I went to work for my dad. He’s been in the flooring trade for around 35 years and I’d worked with him before when he’d needed an extra set of hands on weekends and in school holidays. I realised that I enjoyed the work and in November last year, after nearly 4 years, I qualified as a flooring installer – specialising in carpet, vinyl and cork or vinyl tiles. “I definitely feel personal satisfaction, standing back when I’ve finished at a job and thinking ‘I did that’. Flooring can completely change the way a house looks and feels. To take something old, tired and grotty and make it look amazing; without a doubt, there’s a huge sense of pride when that customer’s over the moon. That makes me happy. “Our business is a real family affair. My mum works in the shop and I work alongside my brother. He hasn’t been on the tools for as long as I have but he’s quick and he’s a creative thinker. With my experience and attention to detail, we make a great team – we play to our strengths. 8 “This job is very physical and it can be hard on your body. Some of the rolls of vinyl weigh 150kg, so even moving them about can be hard. Laying carpet and tiles is hard on your body, hard on your knees and back and the hours can be really long. There’s no walking off the job at 5pm! Like any job, the key is to set yourself goals and push through – stay motivated; know that it’s going to look great when you’re finished. “In our industry, attention to detail is critical – both for the quality of the finish and for good customer relations and business practice. When you work on floors, you know that the customer is going to be vacuuming regularly, going over every spot, they’ll see any mistakes you make. You need to make sure that you don’t make any. perfectionist. I always think about a job as if I was the client; like would I accept that? “The hardest thing to pass on is a sense of the level of finish you need to achieve to get customer satisfaction and repeat business. Good workmanship, good business practice and a good attitude are the key to success. “Having a trade means I always have a skill to fall back on. I know the industry and even though there are new products and techniques coming through all the time, I’ve got the foundations and the qualifications to see me right.” FLOORING The flooring industry is made up of specialists in: “My Training Advisor was really supportive, he checked all my bookwork to make sure I was on track to meet my targets and that I could actually do what I said I could do. > Carpet and Vinyl “I’m now training my own apprentice. It’s been good sharing my skills and knowing that whatever he learns, he’s learned from me. I have really high standards and I’m a > Retail Flooring > Commercial Flooring > Resin Flooring > Timber Flooring and Sanding > Trade Supply NEW YEAR, NEW PARTNERS, NEW STORIES continued Meet Joiner, Brandon Hatch Name: Brandon Hatch Age: 21 From: Pukekohe Years in Apprenticeship: 3 years Working towards: National Certificate in Joinery Craftsperson Employer: Counties Joinery Training Advisor: Bob Martin “This will be my fourth year at Counties – I love what I do. I learn something new every day and I get a real sense of achievement from knowing that a customer is happy because I’ve done my job well. “I finished school in 2009 with NCEA Level 2 in horticulture and furniture making. Initially, I went down the horticulture track and for the first year after leaving school, I worked for my dad who’s a nurseryman. I enjoyed it, but I missed working with timber; creating something from nothing. My boss Roy is a family friend. I started working for him on a three month trial and things just went from there. “If you’re a hands-on person and you enjoy working with timber, this is a great job – you just need to be prepared to work really hard. The hardest thing to learn in joinery is the incredibly high standards of work you need to produce every time, on every job. “Everything has to be perfect, down to the millimetre and you need to be really meticulous about the finish. You need to have passion for the job and love what you do, because if you don’t like what you’ve produced, then the customer won’t like it either! “I mainly work in the factory but every once in a while I go out on site to help with installs. When I do work with customers, I really enjoy seeing the job finished and seeing my work in place. Seeing the customer is happy because you’ve achieved a high standard – that’s when you know you’ve done a good job. “There are 4 of us on the floor but I’m the only apprentice. The days can be really long, especially if we’re busy but I love being hands-on – I love the learning side of it. I’m lucky because I work with people who are happy to share their knowledge – they’re always helping me to get better at my job. I’m lucky that I work with people who don’t just tell you how to do things, they tell you why. “If you really want to improve your skills, you need to be in a work environment that gives you the confidence to make mistakes. Everyone mucks up from time to time but to get better you need to acknowledge your mistakes, learn from them and make sure you don’t repeat them. “I’m always willing to learn. I think to be good at your job, you never stop learning. My boss Roy says he learns something everyday and even when you are really skilled at your job, in our industry there are always new products, new innovations, something new coming into the market. It’s important to be open to developments in design and how things are done. “Every job I work on is exciting in its own way, but probably the most exciting so far was making my first staircase. Even though it was a challenge doing something I’d never done before, the ‘learning’ that went along with the ‘doing’ – that was really great. “Driving around with family or mates, I can point out jobs that I’ve worked on; that’s pretty amazing – especially knowing that my work will be around for years to come. Block Courses and meeting other guys who are doing their apprenticeships. The book work can be challenging, that’s never been my thing, but my Training Advisor has given me support and makes sure I’m doing alright. “In five years time, I hope I’m still working for Roy. I’ll be qualified and hopefully I’ll own my own house (with a really good kitchen). I’d like to do a bit of travelling at some stage and see what I can learn in the joinery trade in other countries. “I know whatever I’m doing in the trade, I’ll always be learning and I’ll always be striving for perfection.” JOINERY The joinery industry is made up of trades specialists with qualifications in: > Architectural Aluminium Joinery > Component Machining > Craftsperson > Kitchen and Bathroom Design > Kitchen Manufacture and Installation > Laminate Fabrication “Working with the ITO has been really great.
