Te Pūkenga
MIT is now part of Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology (Te Pūkenga)
Te Pūkenga brings the Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs) and the training activities of certain Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) together to create a national network. This will give learners more choices and flexibility in what, where, and how they learn.
Existing MIT ākonga (learners) will be enrolled with Te Pūkenga automatically in the same qualification and will continue to learn in the same way, in the same place, with the same people.
Te Kawa Maiorooro
Te Pūkenga has developed Te Kawa Maiorooro, Te Pūkenga educational regulatory framework, which covers regulations that affect learners, like enrolment and assessment procedures, complaints, appeals and graduation processes. Te Kawa Maiorooro has not yet replaced all of MIT’s policies and procedures, so where something is not covered by Te Kawa Maiorooro, MIT’s own policies, and procedures still apply. If you have any questions about this framework, contact studentlife@manukau.ac.nz.
Got questions about these changes?
From 1 October 2022, all references to MIT or Manukau Institute of Technology on this website (and any documentation linked through this website) need to be read as references to Te Pūkenga and its MIT business division. Learners should note that all programmes offered across Te Pūkenga are under review to ensure they are portable, consistent and aligned with the needs of industry and may be changed. Where there are changes to programmes that you have applied to enrol in, you will be notified of these changes.
