Waihanga Ara Rau remains focused on supporting the construction and infrastructure sectors and will continue to deliver our core statutory functions throughout 2025. These functions include:
As the vocational education and training system continues to evolve, we are reviewing how best to align our work with available funding and ensure continuity in priority areas.
We anticipate a reduction in funding from 1 July 2025, which will affect the scope of our delivery. As a result, some areas of work may be scaled back or discontinued.
We remain committed to delivering clear value to the sector. We will provide further detail on our work programme through to the end of 2025, including key outputs and transition milestones, when more is known.
The government intends to make further announcements on the future of work-based learning and the Industry Skills Board model soon. We will continue to engage constructively and communicate any new information to you as it is available.
We will provide clear information on what Waihanga Ara Rau will deliver up to 31 December 2025, including key outputs and transition milestones.
Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please contact us.
