Our courses are linked to skills shortages and regional growth needs across the Bay of Plenty. We encourage you to remain in school, complete your NCEA level 2 qualification and gain trades skills and knowledge that will lead you successfully into the job market.
Courses offered meet our changing workforce needs across the Bay of Plenty region, and range from “Typical Trades” (courses in Construction, Engineering and Hospitality) to “21st century trades courses” that are infused with technology (like Game Art, IT Support, Web and Graphic Design).
In the Bay, we are also fortunate to have booming farming and agricultural sectors. Also with the investment of Provincial Growth Funded projects in Aquaculture, Marine Services, Domestic Tourism, and Getting goods to the market (logistics and distribution and the Kawerau container mill) that will provide for local jobs opportunities for years to come!
