About us
Connexis is the infrastructure business division of Te Pūkenga - New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology. We work with industry to upskill the workforce for the Civil, Energy, Telecommunications, and Water sectors. We provide nationally recognised programmes developed with industry, for industry. We aim to ensure great foundations for New Zealand with programmes that count, training that works, and service that’s superior. Knowledge in infrastructure changes quickly. Employers need skilled workers and workers need skills to work. Developing people that have what it takes means more than reading books. It requires two essential pillars of learning; industry-relevant theory and real world practice. Our flexible programmes are suitable for people working at all levels, from entry through to management. They can be tailored to meet individual needs of employees and employers and provide a structured career pathway. We understand what’s important for employees, employers, and the wider industry - and our goal is to be your invaluable partner in building a stronger New Zealand. Whether you’re an employer looking to upskill your staff, or are working in the industry and want to gain recognition of your skills, we can help. Talk to us today to find out more.
