Unitec Institute of Technology – Te Pūkenga is a public institution in New Zealand. It operates under the national vocational education reform, merging into Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology, a government-owned network. This transition aligns with the country’s strategy to centralize polytechnic and industry training under one public entity.
As part of Te Pūkenga, Unitec receives public funding and adheres to state-mandated education standards. It offers vocational, professional, and degree programs, serving as a key provider of applied and technical education in the Auckland region.
