New General Manager for Younited

Welcome to Matt Gough, the new General Manager of the Younited Student Association here at EIT. Matt is relatively new to Hawke's Bay, having spent most of his life in Hamilton, Melbourne and then Auckland.

Vocational Education Sector Reform

On 1 April 2020, EIT – along with the other 15 Institutes of Technologies and Polytechnics and the Industry Training Organisations – will be merged into a new national institute. EIT will become a subsidiary organisation of the new institute.

The NZ Institute of Skills and Technology Establishment Board recently announced the preferred name for the new institute - Pūkenga Aotearoa.   Pūkenga means skills or expertise, and Pūkenga Aotearoa is supposed to cover the mastery of skills. In a nutshell, it describes a skills-based institute with Aotearoa at its heart.

What are your thoughts on the new name?
