Te Pūkenga

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 wellbeing for 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 centre – a shift from fitting life around learning, to learning that fits around people and their world … throughout their lifetimes. Vocational education is changing in New Zealand. It's a journey that will take time. This will be a new conversation with learners – from what you're studying and where you're studying to ways of learning more in tune with where the world is heading. It will be a nationally recognised new way of learning that creates real value and real meaning for people – learning that's more accessible and flexible.
