This chapter is the second of two in this volume that directly engage with the Reform of Vocational Education (RoVE) programme. Where the previous chapter outlined the historical context for RoVE and described the changes themselves, this chapter explores the potential implications of the reforms for VET in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ). The chapter begins by discussing how the reforms define the scope of a VET sector for Aotearoa NZ. This leads into discussing the three core aspects of the reforms: changes to training structures (especially the establishment of Te Pūkenga), changes to the strategic framework and industry voice (especially the establishment of Workforce Development Councils), and changes to the funding system. Finally, it concludes with a brief eye to the future and discussion of some key benefits and risks, including noting some persistent issues that the reforms seem unlikely to address. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
