Te Pūkenga is to be disestablished, but it’s business as usual for Careerforce
|
|
|
|
|
The Government recently confirmed its intention to disestablish Te Pūkenga | New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology.
We want to reassure you that while Careerforce currently remains a business division of
Te Pūkenga, we continue to operate business as usual, and you should not notice any impacts upon your learning.
We are currently working through the details of the Government’s expectations and are committed to ensuring that changes do not negatively impact the delivery of training.
As always, please contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.
