Welcome to the latest quarterly edition of REAL Assessor News. We hope you'll find this issue valuable to your role as an assessor. View this newsletter on our website.

Reminder: Assessments and privacy
Did you know that it is a breach of the Privacy Act for personally identifiable information to be used in assessments? The Careerforce Assessment Manual outlines that learners must not disclose real names or personal identification of any person in their assessments except to their assessor during verbal discussions.
How can we, as assessors, ensure our learners are keeping personal information private? Find out more here >
Hanging out with harakeke
At the end of March, Careerforce's Staff Assessor team got together to learn about the kawa and tikanga in cutting harakeke, how to harvest it and prepare it for weaving.
The team enjoyed catching up while learning how to weave, and created some stellar pieces.

      Literacy and Numeracy: Who needs to complete literacy & numeracy assessments?
      There is growing awareness about the need for literacy support to assist with workforce training.

      Literacy and numeracy assessments allow us to get a picture of the literacy skills across your organisation so that we can provide the best support.
        So, which learners are required to complete literacy and numeracy (L&N) assessments before they start a Careerforce training programme?

        The answer is: All enrolling trainees and apprentices, unless they meet a specific set of criteria.

        Assessor shout-out
        We wanted to give a shout-out to Romita Prasad who is a cleaning franchise owner for Paramount Services Ltd in Auckland.

        Romita recently completed her assessor training with Careerforce Learning Engagement Advisor, Korelli Mulitalo.
        Romita's manager, Stella, presented her with a bunch of flowers and a certificate.
