About Us

Seafood ITO is the Industry Training Organisation (ITO) for New Zealand’s seafood industry. We offer nationally recognised qualifications for thousands of people in our industry every year.

Most of this training takes place on the job as Seafood ITO trainees are usually employed within the industry and learn while they are earning wages or a salary.

As well as helping people develop their careers, industry training is all about meeting the skill needs of industry and assisting businesses and organisations in New Zealand’s seafood industry to be more productive.

We receive the bulk of our funding from the Tertiary Education Commission and some funding from industry, through the New Zealand Seafood Industry Council.
