Te Pūkenga welcomed its first 24,000 ākonga (learners) and an additional 1,700 kaimahi (staff), with Waikato Institute of Technology (Wintec) and Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology moving into the national provider today.
Whakanuia celebration events were held at all eight Toi Ohomai and Wintec campuses around the Waikato and Bay of Plenty to acknowledge this exciting milestone. Te Pūkenga Chief Executive Stephen Town said the events focused on acknowledging the strengths of the two Institutes of Technology, their people, learners and communities as they move into Te Pūkenga.
