What is the New Zealand Study of Adult Skills?
The study collects information about the range of skills we use in our everyday lives, as well as our learning experiences and work history. The results will be used to highlight areas that we need to build on as a nation, to ensure New Zealand continues to thrive.

Why should I take part?
By taking part you will help build a picture of the nation’s skills and experiences. In total, around 8,000 people will take part, and the more that do, the more accurate the picture will be. The results from the study will be compared with other countries to ensure New Zealanders have the skills to keep our country competitive in the future global market. They will also compare how well our education and training systems work, to identify areas where improvements can be made.
