This information was included in our annual advice to the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) to help focus their funding decisions for 2024. We also developed this advice for:
- work development Councils (WDCs)
- Tertiary Education Organisations
- our other partners
- our community.
Our overarching advice had 9 themes:
- Fund Mā Māori Mō Māori, ki a Māori solutions
- Create an evidence base to inform decision making and monitor change
- Maintain and broaden existing provision
- Improve tertiary education provider marketing, school, and industry engagement
- Expand the focus beyond school leavers
- Support sufficient and suitable programmes for managers, team leaders and supervisors
- Support for employers and learners engaged in work-based learning
- Develop a multi-trade facility at the Te Pūkenga campus in Budge Street, Blenheim
- Invest in programmes where there are low learner numbers but there is a strategic, equity or regional need
The following summarises our advice on the workforce needs for our 5 focus sectors as well as emerging sectors in Marlborough.
