Working Partnerships

Connecting with industry

The Open Polytechnic has over sixty years experience in the delivery of industry-based training. We are at the forefront of innovations in the field of blended and integrated learning in non-classroom environments.

Our Partnerships team will work with you to identify and implement training solutions which meet your current and evolving skill needs. Working collaboratively with both employers and trainees provides an effective mechanism to support workplace learning.

Our job is to work with you to identify skill gaps and needs in your organisation. Our approach is to develop learning pathways which address both your workforce needs and enable you to achieve a competitive edge and improve your productivity.

We understand that an investment in training is an investment in your people and your future. Our response to workplace learning is student-focused and industry-based. Our solutions are flexible and integrated.

We work with a wide range of industry, community, and state sector organisations to meet their professional development needs, improve their skill base, and encourage learner engagement and staff retention. Our partnerships are dynamic and evolving.

The Open Polytechnic team is keen to work with you to identify and implement a range of learning programmes and strategies, which are consistent with the New Zealand qualifications framework, and augments both your in-house training and those offered by other education providers.
