Message from the Founders
Skills Update was born out of an aspiration to provide New Zealand youth with skills and a strong work ethic so they can successfully enter the job market in their chosen trade or profession.
Assisted by numerous stake holders such as Tertiary Education Commission, Ministry of Social Development, New Zealand Police, Iwi, High Schools, Polytechnics, Sport Organisations and thousands of employers in diverse industrial fields we have achieved results that exceed our early aspirations.
Over the past 28 years over 45000 students have graduated and successfully entered the work force. We offer a diverse campus that embraces students and staff from many different cultural backgrounds.
We look to continue Skills Update’s reputation for excellence, and are excited to work alongside the next generation of students, whom we hope will become leaders in their path of endeavour.
