Partnerships
We offer hands-on learning, where our students learn by doing. They learn the skills then they practice them, often in a real-life environment, either on a work placement, an internship, or in one of our purpose-built facilities to deliver goods and services to paying customers (at a great price, of course).
Conservation Hub
The Conservation Training and Employment Hub is the first stage of a multi-layered approach to support an emerging green economy in the region. The Hub brings together various stakeholders to address local environmental needs and support the regional economy through training and education.
The focus is on training to enable capacity building and to showcase relevant employment and economic opportunities. The establishment of the Conservation Hub has been made possible through the reform of vocational education and the resources and partnerships Tai Poutini Polytechnic can leverage through the Te Pukenga network to create benefits for the West Coast.
The Hub is aligned with the West Coast Economic Development Strategy 2050, recognizing that the environment on the West Coast is an asset not only to the region but also to New Zealand.
