A message from Te Pūkenga | New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology

Kia ora koutou

You may have seen recent news of the new Government’s intention to disestablish Te Pūkenga | New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology.

As we work through the details of how this change will be implemented, I wanted to reassure you that your programme of study or training will continue as planned.

We are committed to ensuring that organisational changes that need to be made to meet the Government’s expectations do not impact your learning, and the skills and qualifications you are seeking.

As always, please feel free to access learner support services that you need and contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Ngā mihi nui, 

Andrew McSweeney

Deputy Chief Executive – Learner and Employer, Experience and Attraction
