The previous government merged the various Institutes of Technology and Polytechnic (ITPs) and Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) to create Te Pūkenga.
The new government is committed to disestablishing Te Pūkenga and restoring regional decision-making and delivery in the ITP network. It wants to achieve better financial viability of the sector, regional/local responsiveness and stronger connection to industry.
Consultation on the proposed reforms for the vocational education sector closed in September, with the final outcomes expected late this year.
This work is very important for industry and impacts on our workforce pipeline. Business Central and the BusinessNZ will continue to engage on behalf of our members.
