We’re opening nine Trades Academies around the country next year, providing trades and technology programmes for more than 800 secondary school students.
Trades Academies are an innovative way of keeping 16- and 17-year-olds engaged in education. Students can develop vocational skills and talents through trades and technology programmes.
The academies involve schools, tertiary institutions, industry training organisations, and employers. Students can earn both NCEA credits and a tertiary qualification, while gaining practical skills in the workplace.
Students will have more career choices, and will help grow our economy and productivity. National is delivering on our economic plan to lift education and skills, and investing in the education frontline.
