Consultation Is an Important Way for The National School of Aesthetics to Gain Valuable and Insightful Feedback from Our Stakeholders on Important Issues
Consultation is important to us, and we always welcome constructive feedback from our stakeholders. Our stakeholders have a significant interest in our school, our programmes, and our outcomes. We seek their feedback on things like programme approvals. We identify stakeholders in our Quality Management Systems (QMS) and below.
Identified Stakeholders
Stakeholders are those people and groups with a significant interest in our school, our qualifications and our outcomes. We consult with our most important stakeholders, our ākonga / students, through various avenues. We hope to enlighten the public, through this page, about our identified stakeholders.
Our stakeholders include:
Ākonga / Students
Ākonga / Students are the most important stakeholders at the National School of Aesthetics. We have a very strong learner focus, according to NZQA and other bodies, and we pride ourselves on gaining input from the student body. We do this through several exercises.
Staff
Another important stakeholder group here, the staff have regular meetings.
Industry
Industry play an important role for us. They employ our graduates, have expectations on the standards of ākonga / students, and help collectively shape and steer our industry. Since the needs of the industry are varied, we employ the following to attempt to meet industry needs.
We also have an Industry Advisory Board we call upon for advice and guidance at certain times.
International Governing Bodies
International Governing Bodies help give input on international standards and expectations of employers internationally.
In addition to supplying international standards and expectations of employers internationally, international governing bodies have an interest in how well their syllabi are being taught by us, pass rates achieved by member schools, and other similar areas.
Government Agencies
The New Zealand Qualifications Authority holds an interest in the quality and standards the school offers.
Ministry of Education and the Tertiary Education Commission hold an interest in the completion rates and statistical data to ensure the school and ākonga / students are utilising taxpayer funds to the best and most efficient of their abilities.
StudyLink is interested in ākonga / students who are involved with the Student Loans and Allowances schemes.
TEC has announced that government departments need not be consulted as they are not identified as stakeholders.
Māori
We need to ensure the educational needs of Māori are met under obligations in the Treaty of Waitangi. We believe in equal opportunities for all learners.
