Minister for Tertiary Education and Skills, the Honourable Penny Simmonds, has announced an update on the upcoming redesign of the vocational education and training system.

This includes a return to stand-alone Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics and the disestablishment of Workforce Development Councils (including Hanga-Aro-Rau), replaced with Industry Skills Boards.

Rest assured that business continuity will remain a priority, and we will keep our stakeholders up to date with any developments. We expect to find out more in early 2025, with the new system expected to start in Jan 2026.

Please visit our Changes to Vocational Education and Training page for more information. You can read the press release HERE.

Have a wonderful Kirihimete

and a safe and relaxing New Year…
We’ll see you in 2025!
