Trades Academies are partnerships between schools, tertiary education organisations (TEOs) and employers.
Trades Academies are partnerships between schools, tertiary education organisations (TEOs) and employers.
Trades Academies aim to keep young New Zealanders engaged in education and training by creating a clear pathway between school and further education, training, or employment. Closer alignment of schools, the tertiary education sector and industry helps to make the future workforce more responsive to local and national business and economic needs. A Trades Academy can be led by a school or by a TEO.
The fund is administered by the Ministry of Education, with payments to TEOs administered by the Tertiary Education Commission.
