As we approach the end of the year, we suggest you pop these dates in your diary: - 18 December: Our last certificate run of the year. Final results need to be in by 10 December to ensure they are included in this certificate run. If this date is missed, they will be added to the first certificate run in 2024 (15 January).
- 18 December: If a workplace requires any enrolments to be completed by 22 December, Careerforce will need to receive completed Training Agreements by 18 December.

Introducing Te Pae Ora - our wellbeing hub for your ākonga
|
|
|
|
|
We're excited to unveil Te Pae Ora, an online hub developed by Te Pūkenga. The hub is dedicated to support your ākonga (learners) on their learning journey with Careerforce | Te Pūkenga. Explore Te Pae Ora >

|
| Earlier this year, a number of learners were withdrawn due to lack of activity. Within our training agreements, we do require learners achieve at least 10 learning credits per calendar year, and that failure to achieve credits within any 12 month period may result in
withdrawal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To avoid any learners being unfairly withdrawn due to overdue marking of assessments, can you please ensure that you are as up to date with your assessments as possible over the next few weeks, and prioritising older assessments.

To assist our learners with disabilities, we have introduced a UserWay accessibility widget on Aka Toi.

| You will find this widget on the middle right-hand side of all Aka Toi pages. To access this, just click on the icon. This widget has a range of tools to help our users with disabilities and to help better support their digital accessibility needs. The functionality includes easily increasing font sizes, activating dyslexia friendly fonts, adding contrast to the page and more!
Feel free to have a play around with
this widget and promote it to any ākonga (learners) or anyone else you feel may get value from it.

As you may have read about in the media, Te Pūkenga released its decision document on its new national structures in September. This followed 5 weeks of consultation on its proposed organisational structure that received over 8,000 feedback submissions, and that contributed to a number of changes to the final organisational structure. Amongst these changes was the recognition of the kaiāwhina workforce via the
creation of a focused kaiāwhina domain within the new structure. This is a great outcome as it ensures a continued dedicated focus on this critical workforce. The focus now shifts to transition planning as we move from 25 individual divisions into a single organisation and which will progressively happen across 2024. You can read more about the new structure here. |
