Our Te Pūkenga Leadership Team will be co-hosting a series of in-person kōrero with subsidiary staff and learners across Aotearoa in June and July.

Each session will include an update on mahi which has been happening over the last six months and some details on what the next six months may look like. The sessions will include plenty of time for questions.

The session at Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT) will be held on Thursday 17 June 2021 from 11.30am, starting with a General Presentation.

Breakout sessions

Following the presentation there will be a series of breakout sessions to provide an update and opportunity for further discussion around these three topics.

Operating Model: This is your opportunity to further engage with the Service Concepts which have been created by our Operating Model co-design team over the last six months. The concepts are designed to test what is possible in the future experience of learners and employers. They are not promises, and do not cover the entire experience of all learners and employers. They are ideas that challenge the status quo and respond to research about the unmet needs of learners and employers.

During the session you’ll be encouraged to provide feedback on:

The seven service concepts and how they could be improved.
What exists in the network that could deliver the service concepts if scaled or delivered consistently well?
What existing knowledge, resources or components could be combined or re-purposed to deliver the service concepts?
Where might the capability for services exist outside of the network?

Learner Journey: Find out how Te Pūkenga is putting learners at the centre of everything we do, including: what we’ve heard from learners, how learners are shaping the future and how learners can have their say.

Academic Delivery and Innovation: This breakout session will provide an overview of ADI workstreams and potential collaboration opportunities that network partners can link into. This will lead into an overview of the Regulating for Excellence workstream and introduce the draft Te Pūkenga Academic Regulations.

The team will speak to the development process, underpinning principles, purpose and scope of the regulations, and identify the key changes. Information on the feedback mechanisms will be provided followed by proposed next steps for the associated academic regulatory framework. Note: In some locations this session is being held on a different day following the series – details are listed above where this applies.
