At Unitec Te Pūkenga we educate people for work, in work and through work with a comprehensive portfolio of programmes extending from certificates and diplomas through to degrees, across a wide range of professional and vocational areas.

Wintec, based in Hamilton, delivers high-quality training to approximately 11,000 ākonga/learners every year, who study more than 110 vocational courses across many fields from certificate to degree, postgraduate and master's level. We provide relevant training and qualifications, but we also acknowledge that confidence and wellbeing are important for ākonga to succeed. Our kaimahi/staff are employed for their experience, knowledge, and ability to guide ākonga on their journey. Our graduates are supported to be confident, so they know how and where to apply their skills and knowledge out in the world. Our students get the chance to put their learning into practice from the very start. They work on relevant, real-life projects and learn what it is really like in their chosen career through work placements. They can ask questions and discover there are often many ways of doing things, not just one. Wintec is committed to engaging in an environment wherean authentic and deliberate commitmentto Māori and Te Tiriti partnershipsdeliversan educational system that serves our ākonga - our learners -and our communities well. Improving equitable outcomes for our Māori, Pacific, disabled, and all learners is a priority. We value diversity, and we support inclusion. Our relationships are important. Understanding the needs of local industry, iwi, hapū, and our Waikato community is critical in helping ākonga succeed and our community to flourish. We have grown from a small technical college to one of Aotearoa, New Zealand's largest tertiary education institutes.
