If you have a keen eye, you may have noticed another logo appearing alongside NMIT’s.
This addition signals the start of the transition into the national tertiary provider, Te Pūkenga— the organisation responsible for delivering vocational education and training across New Zealand.
From next year, all ākonga (learners) at NMIT campuses, and our online and in-work students, will be enrolled with Te Pūkenga. Te Pūkenga brings the Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs) and Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) together to create a national network. This will give learners more choices and flexibility in what, where, and how they learn.
Learning that fits around life, rather than having to fit life around learning. Te Pūkenga will use its size and scale to strengthen the quality and range of education delivery throughout Aotearoa. By bringing together on-the-job, on campus and online learning, Te Pūkenga supports learners, employers, and our communities to gain the skills, knowledge, and capabilities Aotearoa needs now and for the future.
Being part of Te Pūkenga enables NMIT to incorporate best practices from across the network, creating strong, fit for purpose, programmes. However, partnerships at a local level will be critical to meet our specific regional needs. NMIT has recently gained approval to deliver several new programmes, starting soon, which will upskill and enhance employees in our regional industries.
These include:
Graduate Certificate in Management (Level 7)
NZ Diploma in Primary Industry Business Management (Level 5)
NZ Diploma in Horticulture Production (Winegrowing) (Level 5)
Leadership for Primary Industries (micro-credential) (Level 4)
Project Management for Primary Industries (micro-credential) (Level 4)
NZ Certificate in Apiculture (Queen Bee Rearing) (Level 4)
New Zealand Certificate in Joinery with strands in cabinetry, timber door and window, timber stairs, and laminate fabrication (Level 4)
