Learning that fits around you

The national network offers flexible, career-focused learning that fits around your life — on-the-job, on campus and online.

Te Pūkenga | New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology is a national network for all the country’s 25 polytechnics and industry training organisations founded to better serve the needs of ākonga, employers and communities. 

Te Pūkenga is currently in a process of disestablishment following the change in direction given in December 2023 Letter of Expectations from the Tertiary Education and Skills Minister. The Government no longer wants a centralised approach to vocational education and instead wants to restore decision-making to regional institutions.  

We are committed to minimising the impact on delivery of our programmes and training for learners and employers.
