Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology (Toi Ohomai) and Waikato Institute of Technology (Wintec) announced that they will move into Te Pūkenga on 31 May 2022. This early move by the two subsidiary Institute of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs) marks the first time ākonga will be directly part of the new national vocational education provider, rather than a regional subsidiary.

Stephen Town Te Pūkenga Chief Executive is pleased to welcome Toi Ohomai and Wintec into the Te Pūkenga whānau. “Welcoming Wintec and Toi Ohomai ākonga, kaimahi, Tiriti partners, employers and stakeholders is a key milestone for Te Pūkenga. Wintec and Toi Ohomai are important community members and I acknowledge their standing and strengths,” Mr Town said.

“Te Pūkenga is committed to continued vocational education excellence in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions. Tiriti partners and Māori stakeholders are important to this commitment and the change in structure.  All three organisations have appreciated Tiriti partner and Māori stakeholder engagement with this process,” Mr Town said.
