| Kia ora koutou
I want to thank all those who took part in Aromātai Kaimahi in May, our second staff survey. We received over 4,500 responses, (the equivalent of 52 percent of subsidiary people), and it is good to have your insights from the survey as well as your feedback from the Kōtui Kōrero sessions as we have been travelling around the network recently.
We’ve included more information below about some of the key actions that we are putting in place. We’re aiming to have the next survey out in November so we can continue to understand how you feel we’re tracking.
Speaking of Kōtui Kōrero, Te Pūkenga leadership will hold the final subsidiary session at Southern Institute of Technology tomorrow, which was postponed due to COVID-19 alert levels changing last month. We also have a handful of separate Academic Delivery Innovation sessions taking place over the next few weeks. If you weren’t able to join us, we’ve released a 30-minute video of the presentation on our website.
This week our engagement with employers, industry representatives and our TITO whānau began. Te Raurau Kaiwhakamahi took place in Whangarei, Auckland and Tauranga. Warwick Quinn, Deputy Chief Executive for Employer Journey and Experience is heading further south over the next fortnight. Many of you will have interactions with employers and industry, and I encourage you to share these opportunities with them.
Before I sign off for this edition, I want to remind you to share your thoughts on the updated service concepts on Our Journey. I know many people engaged with these through Kōtui Kōrero or Te Raurau Kaiwhakamahi but if you haven’t shared your thoughts, they’re open for feedback until 30 July.
Ngā mihi

Me tuku mihi au ki te hunga nāna i whai wāhi ki te kaupapa o Aromātai Kaimahi i te marama o Mei, arā, ki tā mātou uiuinga kaimahi tuarua. Neke atu i te 4,500 urupare i tae mai ki a mātou (ko tōna rite e 52% o te hunga kei ā mātou āpitihanga), me te aha, he rawe kia mōhio ki ō koutou tirohanga mai i te uiuinga, me ā koutou kōrero whakahoki mai i ngā hui Kōtui Kōrero i a mātou e huri haere ana i te kōtuinga i nā tata nei. Kei raro nei ngā kōrero mō ētahi o ngā mahi matua kei te whakaritea. E whai ana mātou kia puta te uiuinga tuatoru ā te marama o Noema, kia rongo, kia mārama tonu ai mātou ki ō koutou whakaaro e pā ana ki ā mātou mahi.
Mō te Kōtui Kōrero. Ka tū te hui āpitihanga whakamutunga āpōpō ki te Te Whare Wānanga o Murihiku, he mea hiki tēnei hui nā te pikinga taumata o te urutā KORONA-19 i tērā marama. Arā hoki ētahi hui mō te Tuku Pūmātauranga Auaha ka tū i ngā wiki kei te tū mai. Mēnā kāore i taea aua hui e koe, kua whakaputahia e mātou tētahi ataata 30 meneti mō te whakaaturanga i tā mātou pae tukutuku.
I tēnei wiki i tīmata ā mātou whaitanga nui me ngā māngai kaitukumahi, ahumahi hoki me ā mātou whānau TITO. I tū ētahi hui mō Te Raurau Kaiwhakamahi i Whangārei, i Tāmaki Makaurau me Tauranga. Hei ngā wiki e rua kei te tū mai, e haere whakatetonga ana a Warwick Quinn, Kaiwhakahaere Mātāmuri, Haerenga Kaitukumahi me te Wheako. Arā te tokomaha o koutou e pāhekoheko rā ki ngā kaitukumahi me ngā ahumahi, ā, ko tāku e kī nei kia kaha koutou ki te tuari ā koutou kōrero ki a rātou.
Hei kupu whakakapinga māku, me whakamahara i a koutou ki te tuari i ō koutou whakaaro mō ā mātou ariā ratonga kua whakahoutia mō Tō Mātou Haerenga.
Kei te mōhio au he maha ngā tāngata nā rātou i whakaanga ki aua ariā mā Kōtui Kōrero, mā Te Raurau Kaiwhakamahi rānei, engari mēnā kāore anō koe kia tuari i ō whakaaro, kei te tuwhera tonu mō ā koutou whakahoki kōrero tae rā anō ki te 30 o Hūrae.

Transformation update
The latest news and updates from our Transformation Programme is shared on our website. Recent highlights include:
Aromātai Kaimahi:
In May 2021, Te Pūkenga asked staff across the network to take part in the second network-wide survey Aromātai Kaimahi.
Over 4,500 people, or 52 percent of staff, across the subsidiary network took part, sharing their thoughts on how they think the transition is going.
The results show people across our network understand and accept where we are in the change process. It also highlights the change is leading people to feel uncertainty about what the future looks like for them.
Te Pūkenga leaders discussed the survey results and agreed on three key actions. We will:
- develop a framework for a network well-being programme with a project group from across the network
- develop a programme in support of “leading ourselves and others through change”
- continue communicating in ways that promote understanding of the change and engagement plan together with timelines
We’ll share more information about how you can get involved in this mahi soon.
The survey will be repeated twice per year for the next few years. The next survey is expected to take place in November 2021. TITOs who have transitioned to Te Pūkenga Work Based Learning Ltd will also take part in the next survey.
Te Raurau Kaiwhakamahi – a conversation for employers
Throughout July, Te Pūkenga is visiting six main centres and regions to engage with employers in a series of hui Te Raurau Kaiwhakamahi – a conversation for employers. This week, conversations were held with over 200 employers, industry representatives and Transitional Industry Training Organisation (TITO) staff in Whangarei, Auckland and Tauranga.
Te Pūkenga Deputy Chief Executive Employer Journey and Experience, Warwick Quinn, provides an update on the mahi and research carried out to understand the challenges employers and learners have with the vocational education and training system and how they might be addressed.
We will also present and invite feedback on eight service concepts that have been developed to help Te Pūkenga form its operating model. If you would like to familiarise yourself with the Service Concepts and provide feedback visit the ‘Our Journey’ platform.
The series will visit Wellington, Napier, Christchurch and Dunedin, and conclude with two online sessions. Sessions are open to employers, industry representatives and Transitional Industry Training Organisation (TITO) staff.
To find out more and to register your attendance visit the Events page on our website.
Let us know your thoughts on the Updated Service Concepts:
The opportunity to engage and provide feedback on our service concepts, which are central to our Operating Model co-design work, remains open until the end of July.
The service concepts have been developed in response to the unmet needs of learners and employers and to test what is possible. They are ideas that challenge the status quo and respond to research about unmet needs, particularly when thinking about the future experiences of learners and employers.
We know there would have been some discussion as part of the current Kōtui Kōrero series and we welcome your submissions, which can be made either individually or as a group. You can view the Updated Service Concepts in the ‘Our Journey’ platform and submit your feedback there or send it to ourjourney@tepukenga.ac.nz.
