Why we exist
To contribute to the achievement of national strategic goals by bridging competency gaps in health-based vocational education and training, with a specific focus on older persons’ health and people living with dementia.
Our guiding principles
- Together we learn
- Make lemonade out of lemons
- Stay the distance; don’t give up on what you believe in
- Have a big vision; even if it is ahead of the current market
- Don’t settle for mediocrity; never let ‘good enough’ be good enough

Our mission
To contribute to a working environment in which the vast majority of our care team wake up inspired to go to work, feel safe when they are there, and return home fulfilled at the end of their shift.
Our objectives for vocational education
Lead a genuine learner-centred/employee-focussed approach to learning that aligns with the needs of Aotearoa New Zealand’s residential care and dementia care services. Design and deliver vocational education programmes that reflect the needs of care staff and the people who need their care. Strengthen sustainability and viability through diversification of revenue streams and the reduction of burdensome administration.
