As the local hub of learning in this region, WITT is here to serve Taranaki. Our role is to cater to the needs of learners, to play our part in addressing national skills shortages, to keep talented people in the region, and to provide our key industries and local businesses the skilled workforce that they need.

Through provision of education, we respond to the needs of industry and align with the regional development priorities outlined in the Taranaki 2050 Roadmap and Tapuae Roa.
Our industry-experienced tutors are focussed on providing learners with hands-on, practical education that often involves work placements, industry projects and internships.
