NZ Marine Industry Training Organisation
A division of the NZ Marine Industry Association, NZMITO's special character as an industry training organisation is built on the long tradition of apprenticeships in New Zealand's Marine Industry. From successful trailer power boats to internationally acclaimed super yachts and race winning performance yachts, the New Zealand Marine Industry is forecast to double in size over the next 10 to 15 years and is dependant on a strong and well trained work force.
Apprenticeship Training Process:
GET A JOB
Prospective apprentice/trainee secures employment with an approved boatbuilding company and enters into a Training Agreement with the NZ Marine Industry Training Organisation (NZMITO).
