RINGA HORA

Ringa Hora was established as part of the Reform of Vocational Education (RoVE) with a mandate to help drive transformational change in the vocational education system. The vision of RoVE is to "create a strong, unified, sustainable vocational education system fit for the future", and as well as the establishment of the six Workforce Development Councils (WDCs), led to the creation of Te Pūkenga, the establishment of the Regional Skills Leadership Groups (RSLGs), and the shift of the role of supporting workplace learning from ITOs to providers... Ringa Hora plays a central role in the vocational education system in Aotearoa. We connect industry, providers, learners, and workers with the vocational education system and with each other... To effectively embed Te Tiriti o Waitangi into our work, we are weaving and laying a whāriki | mat as we go beneath our six Workforce Development Councils, creating space and inviting tāngata whenua, and all manuhiri | visitors to connect with us.
