About New Zealand School of Vocational Education and Training
The New Zealand School of Vocational Education and Training (NZSVET) is a vocational education and training provider based in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland). Its stated purpose is to address workforce shortages in aged care by extending the knowledge and skills of Health Care Assistants, with the goal of improving the standard of care received by older people in New Zealand.
NZSVET's approach to governance and education is framed around the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, which the school applies across its policies, enrolment practices, training delivery, and community engagement. The three principles it identifies — Kawanatanga (governance), Rangatiratanga (self-determination), and Ōritetanga (equity) — are reflected in how the school involves Māori stakeholders, staff, and students in decision-making.
The school works with a range of external parties including aged care providers, health care agencies, and sector organisations to identify current and future training needs and to develop its programmes.
