The Minister for Tertiary Education and Skills, Penny Simmonds, today announced that the Government is consulting on a proposal to make changes to the vocational education and training (VET) system.

See Minister Simmonds’ announcement at Releases – Beehive.

Feedback is being sought on three parts of the system:

  • A redesigned Institute of Technology and Polytechnic network that retains access to tertiary training in our regions, through a combination of stand-alone and federated ITPs.
  • Options for an industry-led system for standards-setting and industry training.
  • Changes to vocational education funding from 2026 to better support the reformed system.

Find out more information about the proposals and make your submission by 12 September 2024 at 2024 Vocational Education and Training Reforms – Ministry of Education.
