Te Pūkenga brings together on-the-job, on campus, and online vocational education and training through a unified, sustainable network of regionally accessible provision. As New Zealand's largest tertiary education provider, Te Pūkenga will ultimately have the national and regional reach to become a long-term skills training partner for firms and industries, enabling learners to move between workplaces and other educational offerings and locations as their needs change.
It will be the cornerstone of a cohesive, sustainable vocational education system that helps improve the well-being of all New Zealanders and supports a growing economy that works for everyone.
We're helping New Zealand move to a vocational education system that puts learners in the center – a shift from fitting life around learning, to learning that fits around people and their world … throughout their lifetimes.
