Whitireia Investment Plan by Whitireia New Zealand

NGA MIHI

Chief Executive – Don Campbell Tenā koutou katoa I am pleased to present the 2013-2015 Investment Plan for Whitireia Community Polytechnic. This plan outlines the strategic approach Whitireia is taking to the priority signals both from government and from our communities. In this plan you find our responses to the 8 TEC plan priorities and the 5 TEC strategic priorities for the ITP sector. You will see performance commitments, strategies and operational examples that demonstrate the active and engaged approach that is the Whitireia way. Along with our strategic partner, WelTec, we will deliver a coordinated and strategic approach to the delivery of tertiary education in the Wellington region. Through our close relationship to Ngāti Toa Rangatira Whitireia will work alongside the iwi in the delivery of their education plan as it comes to fruition. Over the past 26 years Whitireia has delivered on its vision: To lead and illuminate our communities through tertiary education. This plan shines the light into the future.

Chair of Ngāti Toa Runanga and Kaumatua – Taku Parai Ngāti Toa Rangatira values its relationship with Whitireia Community Polytechnic and is pleased to endorse this Investment Plan. We are currently developing our education strategy and will be working closely with Whitireia to create positive change for our people.

Chair of Combined WelTec and Whitireia Council – Roger Sowry ONZM The Council of Whitireia and WelTec have considered this plan and endorse it for submission to TEC. This plan reflects the diverse nature of the communities Whitireia supports and the multidisciplinary approach Whitireia takes to addressing the priorities set by government. The council will continue to monitor the delivery of this plan and the continual improvement that it forecasts.

PREFACE

Whitireia – WelTec Strategic Partnership In January 2012 Whitireia and WelTec formed a Strategic Partnership. This followed extensive research and consultation during 2011 about how the two institutions could work together to increase benefits for students and industry in the Wellington region. It was named ‘Students First’. The Partnership is the first of its kind for tertiary education in New Zealand. While the institutions are each a separate entity their two Councils have formed as one. A Combined Academic Board has also been established to ensure a consistent strategic direction on academic matters. Both Institutions are committed to working together as primary partners to increase the educational benefits for students in the Wellington region, improve the ongoing operational efficiency of each Institution and ensure the vocational skill needs of industry are met. During 2012 extensive effort has been invested by Senior Management and Council in shaping the Partnership, working through what it means to be in a close strategic and operational partnership in the same region; and with no precedents to follow. This has involved intensive communication, information sharing and planning. It has resulted in a common set of priorities for action and investment by each Institution over the next 3 years that are designed to increase the educational benefits for students in the Wellington region, improve the ongoing operational efficiency of each Institution and ensure the vocational skill needs of industry are met. The priorities for the Strategic Partnership are set out and interwoven in this 3 Year Investment Plan and relate closely to support our contribution to achieving the priorities in the Tertiary Education Strategy. Over the next 3 years the Strategic Partnership between Whitireia and WelTec will deliver an enhanced and more efficient regional network of vocational education provision in the Wellington region, through: 

Developing a single strategic approach to the delivery of tertiary education in the Wellington region and jointly marketing the benefit and value of vocational education and learning opportunities at Whitireia and WelTec through a joint brand



Aligning both Institutes’ Programme Portfolio and adopting common credit values to enable students greater and easier access to a wider range of courses and increasingly customised learning, research and work options



Establishing clear, formal and customised study and course pathways for students to easily transition in related programmes between the two Institutions and offering courses on each other’s campuses



Establishing two joint Centres of Vocational Excellence with industry input, to provide a greater range and depth of courses and programmes, teaching learning and research opportunities, and industry readiness



Providing easily available and useable course and programme information and advice to prospective and current students to help them enrol in courses and programmes in one or both institutions that match their interests, strengths and employment goals

4 

Sharing research, best practice and professional development focused on improving educational achievement and work outcomes for priority student groups: Youth, Maori and Pacific



Co-ordinating and integrating Engagement with Industry throughout the Wellington region to continually and efficiently improve the strategic relevance and operational relationships through increased alignment of Industry Advisory Groups



Increasing the number and value of international students through jointly marketing Wellington internationally as an attractive destination and working together to provide international students with an exceptional experience



Implementing Shared Corporate and back office Service across both Institutions to improve the quality and consistency of services, information and systems for staff and students on all campuses, and reduce operating and capital costs



Agreeing and implementing an Integrated Property and Infrastructure plan designed to support flexible and efficient delivery of teaching, ensure a consistently high level of teaching, learning facilities and student experience, and reduce future capital and operating costs.

Whitireia and WelTec are working together

Whitireia and WelTec (Wellington Institute of Technology) are working together to deliver a single strategic vision to the delivery of tertiary education to the Wellington region while collaborating on opportunities to benefit students and improve the efficiencies of both institutions. A single Council and Combined Academic Board have been established to lead the strategic vision for polytechnic provision in Wellington. The cultures, identities and practices of both Whitireia and WelTec will be retained while they work together to share resources, knowledge, expertise and best practice. This innovative collaboration is called Students First. The Students First initiative will deliver an enhanced regional network of vocational tertiary education provision in the Wellington region. Through the strategic alignment of each Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programme portfolio, a combined network of provision will offer students in the Wellington region greater accessibility to vocational education and training delivered through a comprehensive offering of programmes and qualifications that meet the needs of employers, industry and communities. A key feature in the delivery of an aligned and integrated combination of programme portfolios is the work of the Combined Academic Board. With a highly strategic approach to the provision of vocational education in the Wellington region, the Combined Academic Board is taking a key role in the development of the two institutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; combined programme portfolio where alignment of programmes is achieved alongside the sharing of capability and resources.

Profile of Whitireia Whitireia is recognised as a leading provider of tertiary education for culturally diverse communities. This is reflected in the growth of students of MÄ ori, Pacific and international origin. The proportion of students in degree and higher level programmes continued to increase in 2011, as did the number of students under the age of 25, reflecting the Government priorities for the tertiary sector. In 2011, Whitireia taught 7,796 individual students, equating to 4,469 EFTS. Over 110 programmes were offered from level 1 certificate qualifications to level 8 postgraduate qualifications. The top five areas of study students were enrolled in during 2011 were Management (26%), Health (18%), Society and Culture (14%), Creative Arts (12%) and Information Technology (7%). These statistics demonstrate that the education delivered by Whitireia is closely aligned with the demand identified in the TEC commissioned Infometrics 2011 report on the labour market and economic profile for Wellington. That report highlighted demand for Health, Information Technology, Cultural and Educational qualifications.1 Whitireia has nine degree programmes and five postgraduate qualifications, which contribute to the relatively high proportion (73%) of students who studied in degree and diploma programmes at Level 4 and above on the NZQA Framework in 2011. This has been a significant shift from 2008 when 67% of students studied at Level 4 and above. This shift reflects the Polytechnicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to meeting TECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal of student progression to higher level learning in the 2008-2010 Investment Plan. This shift to higher level study has resulted in a SAC EFTS decrease from 2,926 EFTS in 2008 to 2,726 EFTS in 2011, because of the extra cost involved with degree-level programmes in relation to lower-level programmes.

The student profile at Whitireia has undergone a significant shift with younger students studying fulltime. In 2008 the average student age was 33, utilising 0.44 EFTS each. In 2011 the average student

2011 Labour Market and Economic Wellington Profile Infometrics Limited - report prepared for TEC early 2012, pg 5

14 age was 27, with an increase to 0.57 EFTS per student. This shift demonstrates Whitireia is working towards achieving one of the TEC goals of younger students moving towards more full time study. The percentage of students in the 16-24 age bracket have increased from 46% of the EFTS in 2008 to 60% of the total EFTS in 2011. This reflects the work the Whitireia Schools Liaison team has done in building relationships with secondary schools and the introduction of Youth Guarantee funding for 16-18 year old eligible students. The introduction of the TEC domestic student funding cap has accelerated the shift from domesticfunded to international-funded students as a percentage of the Whitireia student population from 23% in 2008 to 31% of EFTS in 2011. Almost half (46%) of international students studying at Whitireia are from China; 28% from Tonga, and 10% from India. The Polytechnicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued expansion into the International student market will ensure Whitireia remains financially strong while meeting the needs of all students and the expectations to support and encourage international education.2 Whitireia has a special relationship with Tupou Tertiary Institute in Tonga which enables Tongan students to work towards New Zealand qualifications in business, information technology, trades, hospitality and office administration while at home. Tongan students are gaining required skills to further grow Tongaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy and meet its current skill shortages.

SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE ACTIVITY Whitireia manages its activity through six Faculties and a PTE, Whitireia New Zealand Limited, that incorporates four trading divisions. Each Faculty has unique challenges and is encouraged to develop individual responses to industry and community requirements. Within this plan as Whitireia addresses the TEC focus areas there will be an example provided highlighting how a particular Faculty is responding to the challenge. The delivery areas and EFTS are listed below:

International Whitireia has a large campus in Auckland that services 830 EFTS specialising in providing educational provision in business, information technology, English second language and hospitality management for international students from 21 countries. In the Wellington region, Whitireia has a dedicated international team looking after 170 international EFTS from 24 countries.

Whitireia New Zealand Limited WNZL is made up of four former PTEs; Wellington Performing Arts Company acquired in 2009, New Zealand Radio Training School acquired in 2010, Computer Power Institute in April 2012 and The New Zealand Film & Television School in July 2012. Each acquisition has been a complementary strategic fit for Whitireia as WNZL students gain access to Whitireia expertise and resources to assist them in achieving their academic goals. As a united entity in 2013, WNZL seeks to deliver 499 SAC EFTS in the niche subjects of commercial radio, film, information technology and performing arts.

Graduate Employment During 2011 71% of the surveyed graduates were in paid employment. While this did not meet the set target of 85%, the employment rate is consistent with that of previous years, and is high given the effects of the world economic recession.

THE CONTEXT FOR THE WHITIREIA INVESTMENT PLAN Regional Context Key Demographics for the Wellington Region The population growth and age structure is stable within the Wellington region. It is expected that while the population of the region will grow between now and 2031 around 13.5%, there will be a significant increase in the proportion of older people. Most of this growth is expected to occur in Wellington City and the Kāpiti Coast District (See Fig 2). Figure 2 Regional Population growth

Kāpiti Coast 46,200 50,600

Porirua 48,546 52,700

Wellington City 179,463 200,500

Upper Hutt 38,415 41,500

Lower Hutt 97,701 103,600

2006 population numbers and in red are current 2011 population estimates

At the time of the 2006 Census, 9.8% of the Wellington population are New Zealand Māori and is the fourth largest out of 16 regions in New Zealand. The region has a diverse range of communities, with strong Pacific communities in Porirua, Wellington City and the Hutt Valley. There is also a diverse migrant community throughout the region.

Educational Provision In the Wellington region, there are 32 secondary schools along with teen parent units and composite schools delivering at secondary school levels. In 2011, 16% of the region’s school leavers went to Whitireia and 11% to WelTec.

20 The Wellington region has a number of tertiary education organisations including: 

Two universities; Victoria University of Wellington and Massey University (Otago University also has a medical campus based in Wellington)



Three wānanga; Te Wānanga o Raukawa, based in Otaki, and Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and Te Wānanga o Awanuiārangi (national providers).



Three institutes of technology/polytechnics (ITPs); Wellington Institute of Technology, Whitireia Community Polytechnic (regional ITPs) and Open Polytechnic of New Zealand (a national specialist provider of distance education programmes).



Government training establishments (GTE) including the New Zealand Police College, the Prison Service GTE and the New Zealand Fire Service National Training



A variety of private training providers (PTEs), some of whom operate nationally, offering a wide range of educational provision.

The Regional Economy The Wellington economy is considered by Infometrics to be the least diverse economy in New Zealand. While the unemployment rate in New Zealand for the past 12 months has remained stable at 6.6%, the unemployment rate in the Wellington area has risen from 5.7% in March 2011 to 6.2% in March 2012. Part of this increase is attributed to the decline in employment within the public sector which is one of the prominent employer groups in the Wellington region. The risk of having a least diverse economy is the negative impact to employment when a prominent employer group, such as the public service, embarks on a reduction in staffing levels. Figure 3 Industry in the Wellington Region The areas of industry in which the Wellington region significantly exceeds the national distribution of employees are:

The areas of industry where the Wellington region significantly is below the national distribution of employees are:

 Financial and Insurance Services  Professional, Scientific and Technical Services

 

Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing Manufacturing

 Public Administration and Safety



Wholesale Trade

The Infometrics 2011 report3 on the labour market and economic profile for Wellington highlights demand in Health, Information Technology, Cultural and Educational qualifications. The Wellington region has an increasingly elderly population (53.3% over 65 in 2011), which will require additional services from nurses, social workers, paramedics, and other health care professionals. Wellington is the culture capital of New Zealand. The foreseeable future sees a continued demand of qualified professionals in all aspects of the Arts sector, namely in performing arts and design as well as support areas in marketing, management and service workers.

Infometrics Limited 2011, p5

21 Recreational services and accommodation and hospitality are also important contributors to the Wellington regional economy. Both industries are expected to increase demand for labour. This will translate into demand for a number of occupations such as highly skilled specialist managers, hospitality managers, arts and media, design and marketing professionals and sports and personal service workers. Whitireia and WelTec in New Zealand Standard Classification of Education (NZSCED) areas of provision and regional and national employment patterns Whitireia and WelTec as part of the Students First initiative are in the process of aligning vocational educational provision to meet the needs of the Wellington catchment as defined by TEC as being: Kāpiti, Porirua, Wellington City and Hutt Valley. Fig 4 below illustrates the employment demands of the Wellington catchment in comparison to New Zealand with the education provision provided by Whitireia and WelTec.

National Impacts The Christchurch earthquake has resulted in the review of all commercial buildings in the Wellington region of which a significant number will require additional strengthening to meet new building earthquake standards. The demand for vocational trades training will increase to meet the demand

22 for qualified contractors to work on the Christchurch rebuild, the on-going demand to meet Auckland growth demands, and the urgent need to strengthen existing Wellington buildings as tenants vacate deemed ‘at risk’ buildings. The pick-up in residential construction is expected to be relatively broadly based. Non-residential construction is also expected to rebound to levels close to those experienced during the building boom of the mid 2000s driven by infrastructure development and commercial property. Apart from trade workers, this industry requires specialist managers and engineering technicians as well as lower skilled construction workers and other labourers.

Youth Unemployment In the Wellington region the young people between 15 – 24 who are not in employment, education, or training (NEET) rate is lower than the average New Zealand rate across all age groups (Table 9). Table 9 Comparison of NEET Rates by Age Category New Zealand

CONTRIBUTING TO THE TEC’S NEW PRIORITIES FOR THE SECTOR 1.

SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY

Over the next three years Whitireia will strengthen and grow social and economic contribution to the Wellington region, in collaboration with our Industry partners.

Whitireia will:  Strengthen an already strong relationship with Ngāti Toa  Host 2 conferences that facilitate the transfer of knowledge to our community  Work in partnership with our community partners like the Pacific Church Congregation Members as our contribution towards the social and economic needs of our society  Work in partnership with our industry partners like the Nursing Council to ensure our qualifications remain fit for purpose and meet the needs of industry and employers  Engage local business in Capstone Projects

Whitireia will achieve: Objectives Industry engagement with Whitireia Number of businesses directly assisted through Technology Transfer

Success Measures 2013 2014 Review of Industry Recommendations from liaison completed review implemented 20

Whitireia supports the position that regional development matters and contributes to economic growth, as succinctly argued by Puuka and Marmolejo, “globalisation has increased the competitive advantage of regions that create the best conditions for growth and development”.4

Puuka J and Marmolejo F (2008). Higher Education Institutions and Regional Mission: Lessons Learnt from the OECD Review Project. Higher Education Policy June 2008. Vol 21 issue 2 pp217-245

24 Whitireia interprets the community development mandate on which this polytechnic was formed, in the following ways:  Encouraging social cohesion through access to resources, infrastructure, cultural empowerment, knowledge development and transfer 

Attracting new human capital and financial resources from other countries.



A collaborative research approach and innovative and expert collaborations.

Whitireia will facilitate collaborative, creative learning and trustful environments that are used by students, businesses and government agencies to achieve a ‘triple helix’ foundation for innovation5. New partners from community organisations will be developed, following the successful arrangements to deliver trades training to Pacific church congregation members and youth places to the Porirua Vikings Rugby League Club members in 2012. Collaborative articulations with local PTEs, PTEs with a Māori and Pacific focus, regional schools and commercial partners benefitting from degree students ‘capstone projects,’ will continue to grow. Economic outcomes and industry collaborations will be further supported by entrepreneurial activity. The acquisition by the wholly owned subsidiary WNZL of The Film School, Computer Power Plus (in conjunction with WelTec) and the New Zealand Radio Training School will provide new networks for students and industry partners.

For innovation led regional growth, the theory suggests that innovation systems are a ‘triple helix’ collaboration between Higher Education institutions, government agencies and business. (Puuka and Marmolejo, 2008)

BETTER OUTCOMES FOR MĀORI AND PACIFIC LEARNERS

Over the next three years Whitireia will exceed national benchmarks in Māori and Pacific tertiary outcomes

Whitireia will:  Provide an environment where Māori and Pacific can embrace being Māori and Pacific  Provide resources to enable Māori and Pacific students to enjoy success in their chosen field of study  Provide on-going professional development to enable staff to improve their engagement for all learners at Whitireia  Exceed national benchmarks in Māori and Pacific tertiary education outcomes

Whitireia Māori Strategy The formal development of the Māori Strategy for Whitireia, although prompted by the strong message set out in the Tertiary Education Strategy 2010-2015 (TES), is not solely a response to the setting of government directions. Rather, the Strategy is an opportunity for Whitireia to reset and focus its fundamental values and governance structures so that it can meet its obligations to both government (via TES) and Māori. The key difference between the targeted groups that have been prioritised in the TES is that the Māori group has the Te Tiriti o Waitangi to firmly entrench the rights and responsibilities of Government to Māori as tangata whenua. The Strategy outlines five areas where goals have been set in order to improve educational outcomes for Māori. These five areas as priorities for Whitireia over the next three years: 

Effective and appropriate teaching and learning practices



Appropriate recruitment, development and promotion of staff



Effective student success services



Evaluating, monitoring and reporting framework



Programmes that contribute to Māori knowledge

Māori achievement rates for successful course completion have been improving over the past three years, from 58.6% in 2008, to 69% in 2011. The Strategy and its outcomes will see Māori achievement continue to improve at Whitireia and is working towards the TEC goal of parity on educational success with non-Māori students. Table 14 2011 Māori SAC Funded Student Achievement Rates Course completion Qualification completion Retention Progression

Māori Students 69% 49% 54% 32%

All SAC Funded Students 80% 68% 64% 35%

Over the next three years Whitireia will raise the success rates for Māori students to at least those of all other students. By 2015 Whitireia expects to see the following:



An increase in student success rates for Māori across all programmes



Māori students progressing to higher levels of learning



Whitireia is held in high regard by its local community, and the wider educational community because of its increased responsiveness to Māori students success Graduates with a balanced world-view (Māori and non-Māori) who are able to operate in any bicultural, multicultural work environment both nationally and internationally A Research Centre that is a hub for directing and coordinating the Strategy, is involved in research on Māori tertiary educational outcomes, and is progressively increasing its ability to be self-funded



We are aware that Ngāti Toa is developing their own Education Strategy as well as a Te Reo Māori Strategy . The close relationship that Whitireia has with Ngāti Toa, as exemplified in the presence of the Chair of the Runanga on the Polytechnic Executive team, will ensure that Whitireia is actively engaged in meeting the needs and outcomes identified in the Ngāti Toa Education Strategy. In addition, the pending signing of the Ngāti Toa Deed of Settlement with the Crown will create further opportunities to enhance the Treaty partnership. While the Whitireia Māori strategy aims to improve educational outcomes for Māori, it will also enhance the overall performance and reputation of the Polytechnic and through that:     

Honour the Whitireia commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi Honour the Whitireia relationship with Ngāti Toa and the wider Ngāti Toa community Respond to the direction set in the Tertiary Education Strategy and TEC performance measures Execute the Whitireia Strategic Plan and directions Comply with legislative requirements as set out in the Education Amendment Act 1990

Strategy in action The Bachelor of Nursing Māori took its first intake in 2009 and graduated the first cohort in 2012. By providing the nursing qualification in a Māori cultural context, Whitireia is addressing the shortage of Maori nurses in the workplace. This programme is the result of collaboration between the Faculty of Health and Te Wananga Māori. It is a living example of what the Māori Strategy is expected to achieve – graduates who are able to operate in any bicultural, multicultural work environment and programmes that contribute to Māori knowledge.

Whitireia Pacific Strategy The Pacific strategy takes an institution-wide approach to Pacific education to guide and inform Whitireia domestic and international (Pacific) activity through four strategic developmental goal areas    

improved educational outcomes, effective learning environment, fostering Pacific identity and leadership Developing collaborative partnerships.

The strategy builds on the foundation laid by the Pacific community in helping establish Whitireia 26 years ago, and on the subsequent contributions to Pacific education aspirations made by successful programmes such as the Bachelor of Teaching (Early Childhood Education), Bachelor of Nursing Pacific and Bachelor of Social Work. It is underpinned by a philosophical commitment to Pacific peoples participating and achieving academically at the same rate and level as the general population. By 2015 the standard of service for Pacific students will exceed both their expectations and the expectations of their families and communities. Whitireia will improve the educational achievements of Pacific students and its commitment to supporting Pacific communities’ development. Current Context Whitireia has the second largest proportion of Pacific students enrolled in tertiary education, 73% of whom were successful in their studies in 2011. Graduates from programmes such as the Bachelor of Nursing Pacific, Bachelor of Social Work, and Bachelor of Teaching ECE are actively sought by various employment networks and government departments. This demonstrates what can be achieved in the right circumstances – high expectations, quality learning experiences that maximise Pacific knowledge and contexts, culturally competent teaching staff including Pacific and effective teacher/student relationships. Table 15 2011 Pacific SAC funded Student Achievement Rates Course completion Qualification completion Retention Progression

Pacific Students 73% 60% 62% 35%

All SAC Funded Students 80% 69% 64% 35%

30 Targets and Expectations Whitireia is committed to achieving parity for Pacific learners through its Pacific Strategy and this is consistent with TEC priorities. Whitireia expects that the strategy will enable it to:  Engage in responsible, reciprocal interaction with Pacific communities  Facilitate a cultural shift – to change the talk about Pacific  Deliver appropriate, sustainable and affordable programmes (particularly in the Pacific)  Provide appropriate professional development for staff working with Pacific students By 2015 Whitireia will expect:

    

Successful programmes for Pacific students celebrated as models for best practice teaching and learning All staff to access professional development designed to support Pacific strategy implementation Pacific staff to be supported with professional development and leadership development opportunities Visibility and growth of Pacific research activities Successful integration of Pacific Strategy goals into the quality assurance framework

Professional development A programme of on-going professional development to assist all staff in improving outcomes for Māori and Pacific students through implementation of the strategies has been developed. These include lunchtime seminars, mentoring, research presentations and campus-wide activities. A strategies moodle-site has been set up and includes resources, online presentations and recommended reading and resource links.

Strategy in Action Pacific Science Programme – “Pacific Science – it’s in our DNA” The Pacific Science programme is an example of what can be achieved through secondary and tertiary education partnerships. Initiated and funded for 2 years by the Ministry of Health as a strategy to build the Pacific health workforce, the project sought to increase the numbers of Pacific students studying NCEA science as a pathway to health professions and careers in the health sector. The project evolved in collaboration with participating secondary schools and their Pacific communities into programme including a science unit that used Pacific contexts to teach science concepts, culturally appropriate career information for Pacific parents/community and resource/professional development. In 2011, 190 Year 10 students from 3 secondary schools participated in the programme and one of those for the second year. Pacific students in this school achieved 96% or higher on the assessed unit and overall at the same level as all other groups in both 2010 and 2011. They also attracted around 100 family and community members to the career workshop in the first year and 150 in the second.

31 The positive impact on student achievement has been the outcome of a sustainable, collaboratively focussed model that connects students, their family/community and the school. This approach and its results have significant value for the secondary to tertiary pipeline. Whitireia will continue its success with 3 secondary schools and will extended the programme to include Year 10 career taster courses with science based Whitireia programmes such as Bachelor of Nursing (Pacific). It is planned to continue the Pacific Science Programme in 2013 which will enable further tracking of Year 11, 12 and 13 cohorts, extending the range of units and developing best practice resources for use in the secondary and tertiary sector.

EXAMPLE:

Faculty Engagement meeting the needs of Pacific: Faculty of Trades

Pasifika Trades Training Scholarship (Building Canterbury Building Aotearoa) is a Government led training initiative whereby Pasifika Church Ministers identify potential trades trainees, and together with the Polytechnics (WelTec and several other Polytechnics in Auckland and Christchurch were involved), select and mentor scholarship recipients. Whitireia along with WelTec became the local providers in 2012 offering scholarship recipients free tuition for one year at either polytechnic. 47 Pacific students were enrolled at the beginning of the year with another 6 joining in Semester 2. Students are undertaking carpentry, plumbing, electrical and civil construction programmes. Appropriate support is provided by a Pacific staff member who also liaises regularly with the Pacific church ministers, providing pastoral care and ensuring students receive the right support to be successful. Academic support is also provided by Poutama student services and the Pacific Academic Success coordinator.

MEETING THE NEEDS OF YOUTH Over the next three years Whitireia will have increased pastoral support to enable students to complete their qualifications while facing personal challenges.

Whitireia will:  Grow the youth participation rate  Actively work with our community partners to reduce the Porirua NEET statistics  Enhance the information provided to youth to enable them to make confident and informed decisions about their tertiary studies

The Youth Strategy: A 360 degree approach to youth The Youth Strategy to sets out how Whitireia can build futures for our young students. Its outcome will be to increase the numbers of youth participating and succeeding in vocational education at Whitireia. The Youth Strategy guides and informs the Whitireia programme of provision for youth, linking directly to our institutional values and meeting government) and institutional goals. Figure 6 Whitireia Supporting Youth

At the heart of the strategy is the Whitireia vision for youth

VISION FOR YOUTH Whitireia enables young people to gain vocational knowledge and skills, make confident choices about their future, progress successfully to employment and/or further education, thereby setting them on the pathway to realising their dreams.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES FOR YOUTH 1. Lead and shape the network of foundation provision in our community so that there is an increased demand for tertiary education from those under 25. 2. Build capability within Whitireia to attract and retain young learners, increasing the number of students transitioning successfully from secondary education and progressing to higher levels. 3. Significantly increase the success rates of youth at Whitireia, particularly those of Māori and Pacific learners.

DESIRED OUTCOMES 

Young people aged 16-19 participate in programmes at Whitireia in increasing numbers.



More young people aged under 25 achieve qualifications at level 4 and above at Whitireia.



Young Māori and Pacific people participate at the same rate as; and achieve as well as; other students.

Reaching into Schools Regional governance of youth education is anchored by the Principals’ Group and by The Education Forum. Secondary Principals in the Whitireia catchment meet with senior Whitireia staff three times annually to discuss directions, policies and issues. In addition, Principals from early childhood to secondary, Educationalists, educational leaders, ministers of the crown and government department executives participate in the Porirua Education Forum. This looks at larger issues in youth, such as engagement with the justice system, cross sector tracking, development of pathways and Māori and Pacific economic impacts.

Pastoral Care: Dedicated pastoral care staff work closely with tutors of youth orientated programmes to ensure support is available for all young people to keep them engaged in tertiary education and achieve educational success. Significant relationships have been built between Whitireia and the community to keep young people engaged in education. In partnership with various communities groups, for example, the Porirua Vikings rugby league club, young people learn the importance of turning up on time for the course and to come prepared to learn.

EXAMPLE:

Faculty Engagement meeting the needs of Youth:

Faculty of Service Industries The Faculty of Service Industries has played a major role in the development of Youth Guarantee training programmes and have extended these to include a range of areas: Hospitality and Tourism; Business Administration and Computing; Retail and Cosmetic Services; Beauty and Hairdressing and Outdoor Adventure. In 2012, the Faculty of Service Industries has embedded a dedicated Youth Guarantee Coordinator/Pastoral care staff member within the Faculty. This was based on a best practice model from Best Pacific Institute, a PTE operating in Auckland. This new model embedded into the Faculty has proved to be very successful and strong linkages between whanau, families and Youth Guarantee students have developed during the year. The Co-ordinator works with both Whitireia dedicated success staff and outside support agencies to provide as much support to this group of students as is possible. Tutorial staff members working with Youth Guarantee students have undertaken a range of staff development opportunities during the year and the Youth Guarantee Coordinator holds a regular meeting with these staff to discuss issues and share best practice. Faculty of Trades Whitireia entered into a partnership with the Porirua Vikings Rugby League Club in 2012 to engage their young membership and families in education and training initiatives leading to career and employment opportunities. The partnership involved developing a framework structured around rugby league, education, health and wellbeing for 16-19 club members. Nine students were enrolled under this agreement in a variety of Whitireia trades programmes and all have access to pastoral care provided by a Vikings mentor who liaises closely with teaching staff. This programme is showing success through the increased mentoring of learners in the community and will be continued and expanded in 2013-14. The MÄ ori Academic Success Coordinator supports Faculty staff and students through initiatives such as the Sports day. Created to build rapport between staff and students and to promote a healthy lifestyle, this has had positive impacts for student/staff relationships in the classroom.

PATHWAYS AND TRANSITIONS

Over the next three years Whitireia will provide tools and support to young people in our community to enable them make confident and informed choices about tertiary education.

Whitireia will:  Enhance our successful engagement with secondary schools  Enhance our Careers development service to further meet the needs of our students and graduates  Grow our Foundation to enable more students in financial hardship to receive scholarships to gain access to tertiary education  Enhance The Learning Shop to encourage at risk youth to engage with us in tertiary education  Formalise pathways with our strategic partner, WelTec

Whitireia will achieve: Objectives

Making informed study choices

Success Measures 2013 2014 Publish Level 3-7 vocational pathways Publish Level information 1-7 vocational on all subject pathways areas to linked to NCEA enable vocational students make pathways informed choices

Working with Schools Whitireia has placed significant emphasis on developing relationships with all Wellington Region Secondary schools. At the beginning of each year the School Liaison team goes out to the secondary schools and present key personnel with the current year school programmes information. The activities offered by Whitireia to secondary school students during the year include:  STAR/Gateway/School partnership Programmes;  Booking of Experience Days/ Information Seminars/Concerts  Year 10 Tertiary Exploration Seminars  School Visits/Careers Expos/Subject Choice Events and Presentations

Careers Development Service Since 2010 Whitireia employed a fulltime Careers Counsellor to assist students faced with career related situations where expert help and support was needed. The services provided were:  Face to face personal career planning and guidance for enrolled students  Interviews with prospective students about course choice and possible pathways  Individual and group sessions with enrolled students on job search and employment In 2011 the career guidance work with individuals has predominantly focused on one to one guidance with a provision of resources and products to both groups and individuals. The approach for building capability amongst staff and students means Whitireia has enhanced the delivery so more students can receive quality career information and resources through a diverse range of guidance delivery. Whitireia has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Careers New Zealand in support of the organisational goals to improve student outcomes and transitions to develop and embed and across the organisation approach to Career Development Support. Professional development facilitated by Whitireia, Careers New Zealand and The Learning Shop has been piloted and has now been extended to WelTec staff under the ‘Students First’ initiative in November 2012.

The Whitireia Foundation The Whitireia Foundation is a registered charitable trust that aims to promote knowledge, interest and support for educational purposes and activities who are studying full-time. The Whitireia Foundation provides a number of scholarships to Whitireia students who are studying full-time. The Whitireia Foundation was established in 1999 and today is a registered charitable trust which has a number of purposes based around the promotion and support of the activities of Whitireia, including supporting worthy students to enrol at the polytechnic who may otherwise be excluded through financial hardship. Forty four students were granted scholarships in 2012 to a total of $70,500. Only the interest on the endowment fund is used for scholarships to ensure the preservation of the capital fund for future scholarships. Administration support is provided by Whitireia allowing the Foundation to concentrate its efforts on the growth of the scholarship funding pool. The Trustees are all volunteers.

The Learning Shop The Learning Shop (TLS) was established in 2002 by Whitireia and funded by TEC to provide free information and support to enable people to make informed choices about their on-going future learning and employment. For ten years it has been promoting the value of tertiary education in the community and has increased levels of participation particularly of Māori and Pacific peoples in Porirua. TLS has been exceeding its annual targets for TEC and MSD contracts which focus on adult learners, youth and especially Māori and Pacific peoples. NEETS is the latest MSD contract which TLS has been awarded for the next three years and sees them working with 16 and 17 year olds to ensure they have a pathway into further education, training or employment. By providing a wraparound case management service, TLS try to engage and work with whanau as well as working closely with young people to identify their needs and goals

38 and to then individualise a programme to address any issues or basic needs for example, numeracy, literacy, health, education or justice issues. TLS has extensive networks in the education sector, community groups, employers and businesses sector, NGO’s, local government agencies and local Māori providers who are able to assist in supporting the young people. Strategic Goal of The Learning Shop:  Provide information and support to enable people to make informed choices about their ongoing future learning and employment Strategic Goal of TELAC (TELAC: Tertiary Education Learning and Assessment Centre):  Promote tertiary education in our community Strategic Goal of Youth Service in particular NEETS (Not in Education, Employment or Training):  To get young people into education, training or work-based learning. This will help young people gain the skills to find a job and have an independent future. Strategic Goal of GATEWAY:  Connecting secondary students with the world of work to enhance their career aspirations The Gateway Programme is a revenue generating initiative by TLS to become a work experience/ Gateway broker for three local colleges and this has been in existence for at least eight years.

Programme Pathways Whitireia offers programmes from Level 1 to postgraduate levels. There are clear pathways in the Foundation area from Level 2 programmes in Trades skills, Work Skills, Office Skills and Computing, and Cafe Service into Level 3 programmes and Level 4 programmes. The Whitireia Level 4 Foundation Education programmes provide pathways for students into certificate, diploma and degree courses in Health, Business and Information Technology, Performance Arts, and Teacher Education. Postgraduate qualifications are offered in Nursing and Information Technology.

EXAMPLE:

Faculty Engagement with Programme Pathways: Faculty of Business

The Faculty of Business comprises the subject areas of Business Studies, Information Technology, Legal Executive and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages). Business Studies, Information Technology and ESOL are strategic areas for the Polytechnic and make a significant contribution to the Whitireia Strategy for International Education. The Faculty offers, two postgraduate qualifications, two undergraduate degrees together with associated diplomas and certificates. The Faculty is spread across campuses in Wellington (Porirua, Kapiti and Wellington city) and Auckland as well as provides oversight at Tonga. Fig. 7 is an example of the pathways in the information Technology subject area within the Faculty of Business that is in high demand by employers.

39 Figure 7 Information Technology Pathways

The Certificate in Information Technology (CertIT) is a Level 5 programme offered as one semester of full time study in Porirua and in Tonga. The programme offers a taster for all the areas of Information Technology covered in the Bachelor of Information Technology (BInfoTech), and is a pathway programme for students who are not yet ready to commence study in the Degree and Diploma in Information Technology programmes. It covers five main areas of study: Software Development, Internet and Digital Media, Computer Hardware, Mathematics, and Communications. The Internet and Digital media subject area is combined with similar level Faculty of Arts courses. Students in the Diploma Level 5 and BInfoTech can study an optional 20 Level 5 credits from this programme, increasing flexibility in their study options. The BInfoTech is a Level 7 degree programme offered as three year full time study. The programme covers four main areas of study â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Software Development, Information Systems, Systems Administration and Networking. Students are able to enrol for a one year diploma, a two year diploma or a three year BInfoTech degree. The papers are common for diploma and degree students at Level 5 and 6. The Graduate Diploma in Information Technology (GDIT) is a Level 7 programme comprised of Level 6 and 7 papers from the BInfoTech degree. It is offered for one year of full time study. Students enrolling in this programme must have a relevant Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s qualification and/or equivalent industry experience to gain entry. The Faculty has received accreditation for a Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate in Information Technology. The PG Diploma provides the equivalent of an honours year for the Bachelor of Information Technology, and thus meets the entry requirements for a Masters programme. These Level 8 programmes are strongly supported by industry leading to positions of responsibility in the technical areas specialised in.

LITERACY, LANGUAGE AND NUMERACY (LLN) Over the next three years Whitireia will improve the literacy, language and numeracy skills of our students.

Whitireia will:  Improve the literacy, language and numeracy skills of our students  Have an active role in the formation of New Zealand’s LLN educational policies

Whitireia will achieve: Objectives

Success Measures 2013 2014

LN Progress The proportion of EFTS assessed as requiring additional literacy and numeracy who are enrolled in level 1 - 3 provision and make literacy and numeracy progress as measured by the Literacy and Numeracy for Adults Assessment Tool <TEC have advised they are reworking this KPI> Whitireia has focussed on developing staff capability in embedding literacy and numeracy. By the end of 2011, over 100 staff members had undertaken some form of professional development in LLN, with 22 staff completing the National Certificate in Adult Literacy and Numeracy Education (NCALNE) and a further 13 currently studying for NCALNE. The Whitireia priorities for LLN in 2013 are that:   

Student literacy and numeracy skills improve (targets will be set following the completion of gain reports in 2012). LLN is sustained and continuously improved to ensure it is effective. TEC requirements for LLN are met.

Improving Financial Literacy Whitireia is partnering with the Centre for Financial Literacy and Retirement Income (CFLRI) and Visa New Zealand to improve the financial literacy of New Zealanders. The financial literacy programme is the first of its kind in New Zealand. Initially 10-12 Whitireia tutors will receive specific training on how to deliver financial literacy training into their teaching with the aim of improving the financial planning and management advice delivered to New Zealand students. Students will receive financial education to enable them to make informed financial decisions and help them better manage their money.

41 The CFLRI identified a gap in professional development opportunities for tutors and trainers in the tertiary sector and they lack the formal training to deliver financial education to young people. This pilot programme will initially be run at Whitireia and will be evaluated for effectiveness, measuring by shifts in financial literacy in both students and tutors by the CFLRI. Tutors will be required to describe how they have integrated financial literacy into their teaching programmes, resulting in a more financial literate culture. If the pilot is a success the CFLRI has aims to expand the programme out to other tertiary institutions.

EXAMPLE:

Faculty Engagement with LLN: Faculty of Service Industries

The Faculty of Service Industry has fully embraced LLN, with many staff gaining formal qualifications alongside attending a number of workshops and Conferences. All programmes at Level 1, 2 and 3 have embedded LLN within their curriculum. Students engage with diagnostic testing at the beginning and end of their programme of study. Staff analyse these results on entry to the programme and then put in support mechanisms as required and adapt teaching to suit student needs. At the conclusion of study, students are again tested and results analysed and reported on in Assessment Committees. These are discussed at the Faculty Board of Studies to ensure continuous improvement and improved student outcomes. Staff members have an opportunity to attend relevant workshops and Conferences around LLN and share their expertise and experience across the wider organisation. For 2013, the Faculty of Service Industries will retain the LLN Faculty Co-ordinator who is responsible for holding regular workshops with staff and provide training around diagnostic testing and ensure continued improvements in delivery are maintained. All new staff members to the Faculty are required to undertake LLN training.

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) Over the next three years Whitireia will further enhance the importance of STEM subjects to our community.

Whitireia will:  Further enhance the importance of STEM subjects to our community  Expand our pilot to encourage Pacific secondary school students into NCEA science  Work closely with industry to roll out the Capability Voucher programme  Grow the Innovating New Zealand that support effective technology transfer with industry partners  Grow the Capstone projects to enable industry partners make full use of our highly skilled students while growing and enhancing their businesses Whitireia will achieve: Objectives Capstone Projects Disruptive business model training workshops delivered in Wellington Region

Encouraging Pacific Secondary School Students into NCEA Science One of the initiatives of the Pacific strategy had been a project to encourage Pacific secondary students into NCEA science. Funded by the Ministry of Health, and in collaboration with three secondary schools, Whitireia has developed a programme that includes a unit combining science curriculum and Pacific contexts, culturally appropriate career information for Pacific parents/community and resource/professional development. The positive impact on student achievement has been the outcome of a sustainable, collaboratively focussed model that connects students, their family/community and the school. Whitireia is piloting the model with three secondary schools and extending the programme to include the delivery of Year 10 career taster courses with science based Whitireia programmes such as Bachelor of Nursing (Pacific).

Innovating New Zealand In 2011 the Business Faculty gained an Innovating New Zealand grant from the Research and Technology. Innovating New Zealand brings together New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foremost institutes of technology to provide a range of services to help businesses grow. The aim of the Whitireia project is to support effective technology transfer through the mechanism of supervised student capstone projects with industry partners, as part of an Information Technology degree. The project aligns with a key Whitireia research strategy which requires applied degrees to be informed and supported by on-going relevant research and development. It meets regional business needs identified through industry connections, advisory groups and past graduates.

Technology Transfer Projects Capability Vouchers will be used to help businesses to access services that build management capabilities and which accelerate the growth of the business. The Capability Voucher programme will fit well with the Business Hub initiative (currently under discussion with Porirua City Council and Beca) and the industry links that are being developed with local business service providers (such as Kmatrix, LearnFast, IACT and the KÄ piti Coast City Council business initiative). FBITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disruptive Business Models training workshops have been developed with Capability Voucher funding in mind and the first workshop (early September 2012) attracted seven or eight business which should be eligible for Capability Voucher funding. 2013 will see an expansion in the Kapiti/Horowhenua area targeting regular bi-monthly workshops.

44 In 2012, Whitireia and an ETITO (now called the Skills Organisation) established an MOU between the two organisations to better meet the skills needs of those already in employment. An Advisory Group has been formed containing representatives from (BNZ, AMP, Fletcher, Ministry of Social Development (MSD) and Fisher and Paykel). This will inform the development of an operational business plan to be implemented in 2013. In February 2013, a trial will begin working with a group of administrators currently at MSD who are looking to advance in their careers but require a qualification at levels 5 and/or 6 In 2011 the Whitireia Information Technology programme (Faculty of Business) received a research grant to investigate Technology Transfer through student capstone projects. This project is part of the ESI 963 Grant from the Tertiary Education Commission Innovating New Zealand Project to improve research and development and technology transfer capability within the ITP sector through sharing practice. The capstone projects focussed on for this research involve the use of the High Performance Computing Centre (HPCC) for processing point cloud data generated by 3D laser scanners and Big Data transfer. Information Technology capstone projects are group projects mentored by Academic staff for external clients. The project teams create IT solutions for their businesses which have created successful IT solutions for many businesses in the region while providing a stepping stone into employment for the students. It is difficult to specify what the capstone projects will be from year to year as the nature and scope of the projects change annually and the topics relate to specific technical or business issues particular to the individual organisations. In 2012 some 20 capstone projects were completed within the Bachelor of Information Technology. By 2014 this figure is scheduled to double and the nature of the projects themselves will increase in depth and complexity with the development of the new postgraduate Diploma and Certificate in IT enabling this.

MANAGING FOR PERFORMANCE Over the next three years Whitireia will collaborate with WelTec to provide a single strategic view of the tertiary needs of the Wellington Region.

Whitireia will:  Work towards a single strategic approach of delivery of tertiary education under the Students First initiative with WelTec  Increase student support to enable at risk students to remain engaged and experience success with tertiary education  Enhance the flexibility of delivery to enable more engagement using online tools  Enhance knowledge transfer via publication of high quality applied research  Have staff members recognised as experts in their fields by their peers  Have buildings on the Porirua campus fit for purpose, economic and environmentally sustainable  Upgrade facilities to ensure students experience flexible, connected, reconfigurable learning environments  Whitireia will achieve highly confident in both Educational Delivery and SelfAssessment in the 2014 EER review Whitireia will achieve: Objectives Financial Strength Financial Surplus % Financial Sustainability Teaching FTE to EFTS Ratio Support Student Achievement Shared Services

Strategic Partnership In August 2011, the Councils of Whitireia and WelTec agreed that the best way to work together to deliver a single strategic approach to the delivery of tertiary education in the Wellington area. The collaboration, known as Students First initiative aims to provide students with greater opportunities to choose from a wider range of aligned offerings. Students will benefit from access to the combined programmes offered by each institution and there will be extended possibilities for student driven customisation of learning, with ease of transferability between institutions, programmes and courses. The first step that occurred was in November 2011 when the Minister agreed to a single Council to govern both Institutions. As part of the Strategic Partnership with WelTec and under delegation from the Combined Council, a Combined Academic Board was formed in early 2012. There is equal representation from each institution and it has an independent chair, the Director of Ako Aotearoa, Dr Peter Coolbear. Under the Terms of Reference of the Combined Academic Board, Whitireia and WelTec each has an Academic Committee, which considers and approves academic matters pertaining to their own programmes and successful outcomes for their students. Programmes requiring external approval and matters relating to the Strategic Partnership are referred to the Combined Academic Board. The priority areas for the next three years of the strategic partnership include: 1. Establishing a Fully Functioning Combined Academic Board A combined academic board has been formed with Dr Peter Coolbear appointed as chairman. Peter is independent of both institutions and is the current Chief Executive of Ako Aotearoa. Work is advancing well on developing common credit values and towards developing an integrated programme portfolio. 2. Shared Services An independent consultant has been appointed with extensive experience working with public and private sector organisations implementing and advising on Shared Service options. A feasibility study has been undertaken to look at opportunities and options for making Shared Services a reality. Joint Procurement Capability Review is one of the initial activities underway in 2012 with the view of adopting joint procurement practices and the benefits to the two institutions. 3. Campus Planning The Council Campus Planning Committee has been setup with principles that will underpin the development of an integrated Campus development Strategy and Plan.

47 4. Joint Council Operations and Statute Planning Combined Council has been formally constituted in one statute and is currently working well. The council has established a committee structure consisting of Risk and Audit, campus Planning, Chief Executive’s performance. 5. Joint Centres of Excellence Research has commenced on options for developing joint ‘centres of vocational excellence’. It is too early to specify how the Joint Centres of Excellence will operate and integrate with Whitireia and WelTec organisations. 6. Branding the Strategic Partnership Work is underway with the assistance of a design agency to assist Whitireia and WelTec to communicate clearly and consistently the vision and value of the Strategic Partnership and how it will work. The vision is to create a brand on the lines of the “Star Alliance” seen in the aviation industry with Air New Zealand. 7. Joint Marketing (and recruitment) Strategy Whitireia and WelTec’s marketing teams are working together to support marketing and recruitment. The focus is on of improving access to information for students about the courses and programmes available at both institutions. 8. International Marketing (of Wellington) International teams are developing strategies to encourage international students to study in Wellington at Whitireia and WelTec by proving them with an exceptional experience. 9. Developing a single structure of Advisory Committees Whitireia and WelTec are working towards developing a single structure of Advisory Committees. Both institutions work closely with industry and see great benefits that can be derived from the development of a single structure of Advisory Committees.

Computer Power TEC and NZQA approached Whitireia and WelTec to assist Computer Power Institutes’ students after the company was placed into receivership in March 2012. Accepting the challenge via Whitireia New Zealand Limited (WNZL), Whitireia and WelTec have embarked in a joint venture to provide expertise and resources to WNZL’s recent acquisition of Computer Power Institution’s assets, rebranded as Computer Power Plus. Both organisations are committed to reinvest and enhance Computer Power Plus and support WNZL as the new acquisition is revitalised and student numbers are restored to pre receivership levels. Whitireia and WelTec, through the Students First collaboration, will be working together to meet the needs of the Wellington region. By pooling together our resources, both Whitireia and WelTec will continue to work closely with industry to meet their needs and provide highly trained professionals to meet the skill demands of the Wellington region.

Quality Assurance The Quality Management System (QMS) was re-developed in 2010–11. It provides all staff with a clear framework of policies, procedures, guidelines and forms that documents how Whitireia (and WNZL) manages each aspect of the business operation and the quality of learning and teaching. Whitireia is working with WelTec to align our procedures to facilitate the seamless transition of students from one institution to the other. Whitireia is committed to and has made good progress towards embedding self-evaluation at all levels – programme, faculty, service and organisation, including in WNZL. It is evidence-based and results are used for planning and action plans are developed for improvement. The focus is on outcomes and actions are evaluated for effectiveness in improving successful outcomes for students. Whitireia was the second ITP in 2010 to have an External Evaluation and Review (EER) and received judgments of ‘highly confident’ for educational performance and ‘confident’ for capability in selfassessment. The next scheduled EER is due in 2014 and it is expected that WNZL will be included in this review. It is anticipated that Whitireia will retain Category 1 status and receive ‘highly confident’ in both aspects.

Student Support Students will be helped with accessibility needs, given preventive health advice and assisted to identify strategies that deal with issues relating to relationships and work stresses. Some students may qualify for temporary financial help and it is distinctive of the Whitireia whānau that staff members contribute to this support. This support is strengthened by sound budgeting strategies as they will contribute to lifelong changes and to government priorities for financial literacy. Academic advisors and academic staff work in partnership with the learner and have a supportive role in maintaining engagement in the learning process. Mentoring and coaching activities will benefit both staff and students and the principles that steer this work are increasingly focused on building resilience for youth, Māori and Pacific students. Whitireia has a Māori Academic Success Coordinator and a Pacific Academic Success Coordinator. These two positions engage directly with students, to provide a holistic approach to facilitating their success, as well as engaging and supporting staff where appropriate. The strategic role of the Māori and Pacific Academic Success coordinators is twofold. One is to provide on-going opportunities for Māori and Pacific students to make a connection with each other and with staff so that the students feel they belong, and that they are supported in their identity as a Māori or Pacific student at Whitireia. As a provider of quality education, Whitireia is a learning organisation that understands the notion of manaakitanga, caring for the learner in order for them to reach their potential.

Online Learning Centre The Online Learning Centre (OLC) provides consultative and support services for flexible developments within Whitireia. This includes the provision of an institutional wide Learning Management System (LMS) that provides the platform (Moodle) and functionality to support flexible teaching and learning for the polytechnic. OLC support a number of flexible learning tools that compliment and support the functions of the polytechnics LMS. This includes:      

Mahara ePortfolio system CourseCast lecture capture system Turnitin (to assist faculty providing online submission, plagiarism detection and online marking facility) Peerwise (a freely available online tool to support the construction, display and organisation of student contributed quiz type questions) Various flexible tools to support mobile learning A range of Web 2.0 and social media options (YouTube, eTV, Prezzie, Facebook etc)

Currently (October 2012), 85% of Whitireia programs utilise the polytechnic’s LMS. OLC aims to support faculty to meet a 100% target of all teaching and learning programmes using the LMS by 2014. Some of the measures that will be implemented over the 2013 – 2014 period include:     

Increased professional development for staff focusing on quality online design and delivery Youth friendly focus on use of mobile and social media technologies Extend the range of tools aligning with pedagogical approach used in faculty (e.g. Context Based Learning, live webinar/desktop video conference facility) Further work with strategy teams to ensure inclusion of Maori, Pacific & Youth in online design and delivery Extend the use of Mahara ePortfolio system for both staff and students

As part of the Students First initiative, OLC has engaged with WelTec around flexible initiatives and is implementing a LMS hosting arrangement for WelTec. OLC and WelTec are planning further areas of collaboration around professional development, flexible design and delivery in 2013 – 2014.

Research Whitireia is committed to producing high quality applied research that underpins degree courses, and supports student outcomes. We have a continuing priority of increasing research capacity in our staff. The number of staff members who do not teach on degree courses, but have completed research projects or creative outputs is an excellent indicator of a growing research culture within Whitireia. In 2011, our research outputs increased 70% over those of 2010. Much of our research is of national importance, for example, the Nurse Specialist Nursing Framework, developed by a staff member has been adopted by the Health Workforce New Zealand. Staff research on distance learning, co-operative learning, and virtual classrooms, cultural safety and managing cultural diversity has had both national and international impact. We have staff members who are internationally recognised in the field of visual arts, jewellery, whakairo (traditional Māori carving), and creative writing. Through research which focuses on improving teaching and learning, and evaluating new and innovative teaching programmes and strategies, Whitireia staff members are increasingly being recognised by external funding organisations. In the past year projects have been completed for the Ministry of Education, Ako Aotearoa, and the New Zealand Health Research Council. For example, the Business Faculty gained an Innovating New Zealand grant from the Research and Technology Transfer project for their research work with ESR for forensic research and development work for the New Zealand Police. This research provides students from the Bachelor and Graduate Diploma of Information Technology with the opportunity to research and develop projects that solve ‘real world’ problems. Whitireia Faculty of Health staff have received international recognition with a World Health Organisation grant to strengthen the quality of nursing services and nursing education in Vanuatu. Our staff members have also been chosen by the Ministry of Justice, and Housing New Zealand, to undertake research projects in the wider community relating to Pacific housing, Pacific healthcare, needs of children of prisoners, and transforming family violence. This work is continuing, and by improving our research capabilities, we aim to improve the quantity and quality of our research outputs, and to attract more external funding contracts. The Polytechnic’s commitment to research is evidenced by the appointment of a fulltime tenured Research Manager, and the commitment to establish research units for Māori, Pacific, and applied educational research within the next three years.

Campus Development Whitireia is embarking on a major campus redevelopment at the main Porirua campus. The building project is in two stages; stage 1 (see Fig 6 below for BP1) currently under construction will have a total footprint of 3817 square metres to house the Faculty of Health, administration, classrooms and conference facilities. This building will include laboratories, simulation suits and will provide state of the art training facilities. Stage 1 is expected to be ready for students at the start of the 2013 academic year. Stage 2 will (see Fig 8 below for BP2 and BP3) contain student services, class rooms and administration for Faculty of Service Industries and Faculty of Arts. Stage 2 is anticipated to be under construction by 2014. The overall aim of this redevelopment project is to build a community focused campus. The finished buildings will be fully integrated and interconnected thus creating a holistic campus that integrates with the wider community and more importantly creates a â&#x20AC;&#x153;campus communityâ&#x20AC;?. In conjunction with the MÄ ori, Pacific and Youth strategies, the Porirua campus redevelopment will create an environment where all students will thrive and be fully supported towards achieving their academic goals.

International makes up 31% of the total EFTS enrolments for 2011. Whitireia has a strong International network which has led to an increase in international student numbers. Whitireia has a special relationship with Tupou Tertiary Institute in Tonga which enables Tongan students to up skill while at home. Tongan students work towards New Zealand qualifications in business, information technology, trades and office administration qualifications. Funded by the free Wesleyan Church, Tongan students are gaining required skills to further grow Tonganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy and meet its current skill shortages. Tongan students enrolled in business programmes are given the opportunities to cross credit into the 3rd year of Bachelor of Applied Business in New Zealand after completing the New Zealand Diploma in Business in Tonga.

CONTRIBUTING TO THE TEC’S 2013-2015 PRIORITIES FOR THE SECTOR 1. MATCHING OF SKILLS SUPPLY AND DEMAND Over the next three years Whitireia will strengthen our engagement with Industry and Employers in our community.

Whitireia will:  Actively engage with employers and industry through our Industry Advisory Committees  Enhance engagement with Industry to ensure education provision remains fit for purpose and meets the needs of Industry  Enhance the transfer of knowledge to Industry and our communities through conferences, workshops and advisory committees  Strengthen the requirements for formal Industry approvals

Whitireia will achieve: Objectives Industry engagement with Whitireia

Success Measures 2013 2014 Recommendations Review of Industry liaison from review completed implemented

Engagement with Industry and Employers Whitireia will actively engage with employers to ensure all programmes offered to students meet the needs of employers. Whitireia has Industry Advisory Committees for every programme of study made up of staff, students and employers who review and make recommendations on improvements to programme of study and ensure the delivery is in line with industry expectations. Meetings are held regularly and the reports are tabled at the Faculty Boards of Studies. All significant changes to programmes are consulted with the Industry Advisory Committees. In 2013 minutes showing resolutions of endorsement from Industry will be required before the Whitireia Academic Committee will approve changes. As a part of the Students First initiative, Whitireia and WelTec are reviewing their Industry Advisory Committee structures with a view to combining as one committee within a subject area where there is duplication. In September 2012 an initial meeting was held with chairs from all the advisory committees to discuss how the two institutions can better communicate with Industry and improve the strategic relevance of the portfolio of provision. Advisory committees will have an increasing input to the redevelopment and improvement of content of the programmes of study.

54 Whitireia has also initiated a strategic project to review the systems and processes around how studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vocational intentions are aligned with information about workforce development needs (from govt, regional level, industry etc) and tracked through to graduate outcomes, eventual destinations and on-going relationships with alumni. This work will be shared with WelTec as part of the Students First initiative. The initial information gathering stage is currently in progress. Identified needs for the Wellington Region The Wellington region has an increasingly elderly population (11.9% over 65 in 2011), which will require additional services from nurses, social workers, paramedics, and other health care professionals. Whitireia is well placed to meet these demands with its three nursing degree programmes Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Nursing MÄ ori, and Bachelor of Nursing Pacific, Postgraduate Nursing, Social Work, and Paramedic qualifications. These programmes are highly regarded. The Pacific Health Workforce Service Forecast report to the Health Workforce New Zealand and the Ministry of Health (August 2012) makes multiple mentions of the high demand for graduates in these disciplines and notes the strong and positive engagement that Whitireia is making to the solution.

Recreational services and accommodation and hospitality are also identified7 as important contributors to the Wellington regional economy, with an expected to increase in demand for labour. Whitireia offers qualifications at a range of levels to meet these demands including outdoor adventure, tourism, professional cookery, office administration, retail and hospitality. Wellington has long held the title of Arts Capital of New Zealand and Whitireia is committed to supplying the needs of this sector. Whitireia has taken on the lead role for the Targeted Review of Performing Arts Qualifications. This is a national review mandated by NZQA and involves industry, employers, community groups and educators from the performing arts sector (drama, dance, music, performing arts production). It is anticipated that the Whitireia contribution to the performing arts sector will continue following this review through its role as qualification developer in at least one of the sub-sectors.

Infometrics have identified in Table 19 a reduced demand for level 1-3 management and commerce qualifications by Industry for employment purposes, however the prerequisite entry criteria requires students to have a certain level of educational ability before they can be accepted on Bachelor (level 7) programmes. Learners that do not have the prerequisite knowledge are directed into a suitable foundation programme in level 1-4 to gain the required skills to ensure they have the best chance to succeed in Level 7 studies. This demand is reflected in the proposed SAC EFTS provision in Table 20.

Informetrics Ltd 2011, p54

58 Technology and Knowledge Transfer As identified in section covering STEM on page 36, Whitireia is actively engaged in supporting local business and in knowledge transfer. For example, each year the Bachelor and Graduate Diploma of Information Technology supports the Capstone Project that provides senior students to work with industry, businesses and government departments to solve ‘real world’ problems. The project establishes close working relationships with prospective employers, many of whom employ the graduating students, and at the same time it provides the Faculty with information about emerging needs in the field and up-to-date knowledge in systems and development methods. In response to industry identifying the need, in 2013 a new Postgraduate Certificate in Information Technology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Information Technology will be offered at Whitireia.

EXAMPLE:

Faculty Engagement in Matching Skills supplies and Demand by Industry:

Faculty of Arts Creative Arts and Performance Whitireia Arts staff members are actively involved in the creative arts and performance sector, participating and interacting with the many communities which make up the creative arts and entertainment industries. Graduates have developed the necessary discipline and motivation to work independently and gain employment in the following industries:- recording and performing arts; Djing, sound engineering; filmmaking; arts management; publishing; freelance writing and editing, web and communications design and writing; working in television and theatre; teaching and arts education positions. Early Childhood Early Childhood engages with employers through students’ practicum placements, staff visiting students, community activities, attending conferences and professional development throughout the year. The government is very keen to have all preschool children enrol in organised preschool organisation to help them transition better into school. This will lead to the demand for trained early childhood educators by industry. Media (including publishing) Engagement with employers is by way of frequent meetings with General Managers and key department heads. The strong relationships with industry assist in the very good employment outcomes for Media students, for example 90% of the graduates from the National Diploma in Journalism (Mulit-media) have employment. Media staff put a lot of work into graduate employment – “we regard it as a key part of what we do”. A large number of graduates are working towards self-employment as designers, artists, authors and performers. At Whitireia they learn to enhance their natural artistic skills and apply their talents in a business framework to ensure they can achieve the best financial success when self-employed, seeking and producing commission paid work.

Faculty of Health The Faculty of Health offers programmes that provide workforce development at undergraduate and postgraduate levels for nurses, social workers, paramedics in partnerhsip with both governmental and non- government (NGO) health and social service providers. The Faculty in addition has built pathways (in partnership with employers and secondary schools) into relevant tertiary study through foundational social and health sciences across regional campuses. Increasing numbers taking these pathways with their obvious focus on science, technology and mathematics subjects responds to the Tertiary Education Commission goal of increasing participation in STEM areas. Advisory meetings are one of the main sources of feedback from employers and input from these groups supports and influences improvements to our educational programmes and ensures relevance to regional skill needs. Strong employer engagement also exists as we provide educational support to students in work-based practice in our nursing, social work and paramedicine programmes. The Faculty of Health have 19 Industry Advisory panel meetings, 9 committees all up containing 172 members. Table 23 lists the Advisory Panel membership numbers and the number of planned meetings for 2013. Faculty staff members contribute leadership and expertise in discipline and industry networks both nationally and internationally. As an example, the Dean of Faculty, Dr Kathy Holloway is advisor to the Ministry of Health through the Nursing Champions Advisory Group, advisor to Health Workforce New Zealand through the National Nurse Education Advisory Group, member of the National Nursing Organisations Forum and also the National Chair of Nursing Education in the Tertiary Sector. The Associate Dean, Carmel Haggerty is Chair of the College of Mental Health Nurses Education Subcommittee. International engagement is through research involvement and dissemination in relation to our discipline areas. Gary Strong, Paramedic programme leader attends the Ambulance New Zealand education committee.

The Youth Strategy: A 360 degree approach to youth As already discussed in “Meeting the Needs of Youth” on page 26, Whitireia has identified the strategic importance of addressing youth in its Youth Strategy. The Youth Strategy to sets out how Whitireia can build futures for our young students. Its outcome will be to increase the numbers of youth participating and succeeding in vocational education at Whitireia. The Youth Strategy guides and informs the Whitireia programme of provision for youth, linking directly to our institutional values and meeting government) and institutional goals

65 Over the next two years Whitireia will be implementing the following strategies: Table 26 Whitireia meeting the needs of Youth in relationship to all Strategies Youth Strategic Priorities Leading and shaping the network of foundation provision in our community so that there is an increased demand for tertiary education from those under 25.

Links to Māori Strategy Goals

Links to Pacific Strategy Goals

How this supports Foundation

 Relevant monitoring and reporting framework  Programmes that contribute to Māori knowledge identifying programmes that contribute to the future development of Māori, as Māori

 Improved Educational Outcomes - developing school-to-tertiary education-to workforce transitions; implementing robust monitoring and accountability processes; programmes that reflect and respond to community aspirations.  Foster Pacific Identity and Leadershipresponding to Pacific community development aspirations  Develop Collaborative Partnerships - Build strong collaborative links across the Pacific academic community; foster opportunities to connect Pacific peoples

 Foundation pathways improved to ensure coherent and sound picture

Broad operational implications of Youth Strategy  build on the work done successfully with schools to promote the value of vocational education in the wider community  use the Government’s big picture of Pathways once it is available, to provide good ‘product’ vocational pathways that work (need to understand profile of the market, what’s happening, what coherent picture can we create for youth)  lead what’s provided in the community, working with current providers of youth education (ie collaborative picture of region’s provision)  monitor, analyse and report on recruitment, retention and success of youth

The Schools Liaison / Youth Guarantee team provides the initial contact point for the majority of “youth” engaging with Whitireia. They talk to prospective students and families or by handling and following up referrals to arranging and scheduling interviews and providing support to faculty staff conducting interviews through to assisting students with enrolling into Youth Guarantee programmes offered by the various faculties.

Pastoral Care: Pastoral care is a key component of the whole relationship process and Whitireia acknowledges the importance of establishing this relationship with the student and their families from the beginning. Whitireia has developed a process of having specialised staff members within each faculty offering Youth Guarantee funded programmes, to assist with on-going monitoring / mentoring of these young people as they transition from secondary school to tertiary education. This model is working well within the Youth Guarantee scheme and is being expanded into the Level 1 and 2 provisions at Whitireia.

4. IMPROVING PATHWAYS AND TRANSITIONS Over the next three years Whitireia will continue to strengthen our relationships with secondary schools in the Wellington Region.

Whitireia will:  Enhance our relationships with secondary schools to ensure secondary school students receive the best advice and information to enable confident and informed tertiary education decisions  Assist secondary school students to make informed NCEA subject decisions that will enable them a smooth transition into tertiary education  Enhance wraparound support to enable students to have a positive experience at Whitireia and enable them to enjoy educational success

Whitireia will achieve: Objectives

Making informed study choices

Success Measures 2013 Publish Level 3-7 vocational pathways information on all subject areas to enable students make informed choices

2014 Publish Level 1-7 vocational pathways linked to NCEA vocational pathways

Whitireia has placed significant emphasis on developing relationships with all Wellington Region Secondary schools. At the beginning of each year the School Liaison team goes out to the secondary schools and present key personnel with the current year school programmes information. The activities offered by Whitireia to secondary school students during the year include:  STAR/Gateway/School partnership Programmes;  Booking of Experience Days/ Information Seminars/Concerts  Year 10 Tertiary Exploration Seminars  School Visits/Careers Expos/Subject Choice Events and Presentations While at secondary school, potential students receive their first experience of Whitireia via organised experience days. Students get to see campus life, including facilities, meet fulltime students and obtain hands on experience under the guidance of experienced staff and Whitireia students. The experience becomes more focussed for students in Years 11, 12 and 13 as they enrol into STAR and / or Gateway courses at Whitireia. Many of these courses providing the opportunity to students to gain credits for their NCEA from Whitireia while still at secondary school. Many of the STAR

67 programmes can staircase onto full time Whitireia courses with students making an easy transition from school to tertiary study. This team produces an Annual School Programmes Folder which includes a large calendar of events and programmes of interest to Careers Staff, Senior Deans, Senior College management and senior students. This is delivered to colleges’ mid-November covering the subsequent calendar years activities. Feedback from colleges is that they find this an extremely useful resource. Schools Liaison / Youth Guarantee team provide the following services:      

Setting up in conjunction with faculty staff, a wide range of STAR / Gateway / School Partnership programmes (as covered in the attached Schools Programmes Folder) Experience Days / Information Seminars (targeted or themed to ensure good attendance) Year 10 Tertiary Exploration Sessions – an onsite opportunity for groups of year 10 students and teachers to get their first taste of a tertiary environment School visits / Careers Expos / Subject Choice Evenings / Presentations – (held at colleges, within the community or at our various campuses) Production of Schools Liaison Newsletter – 3 per year aimed at providing additional information and support to key stakeholders Recruitment and Support of potential Youth Guarantee students and their families

By being involved in these activities it highlights to potential students / parents and whanau the importance Whitireia places on engaging with them whilst often allowing them to see first-hand what Whitireia has to offer them and their family members.

Five Year Strategic Plan to Transition from Secondary School to Tertiary Education 1st Year Year 10 - developed initial relationship with students while at Secondary School 2nd Year Year 11 - introduced students to STAR Introductory programmes 3rd Year Year 12 - expanded STAR/Gateway programmes 4th Year Year 13- expanded STAR/Gateway programmes/Information Seminars/Experience Days 5th Year Post-Secondary School- Youth Guarantee / Foundation level programmes and support

68 The Schools Liaison / Youth Guarantee team are continuing to look for new initiatives and aim to be responsive to the needs of the TEC priority groups: Youth, Māori, and Pacific students. 2012 has seen several School Partnership programmes established where a Whitireia tutor has delivered onsite at the secondary school including:  Carpentry programme on site at Kāpiti College  Year 12 Hospitality programme on site at Wellington East Girls College  Construction / Technology practical for Year 11 & 12 classes at Paraparaumu College These programmes enabled students to gain unit standards in each specific industry, which also count towards their overall NCEA results. In 2012 Schools Liaison were approached by the Lower Hutt Māori Organisation – Ahikaa Entrepreneurship New Zealand, develop a strategic alliance with Whitireia. Ahikaa will maintain providing assistance with on-going pastoral support to Māori students who pathway into studying at Whitireia.

Careers Guidance Ensuring that potential students are linked to a programme of study that fits their needs and aspirations is an important service that Whitireia has been developing. Whitireia has one fulltime careers counsellor for all enrolled students and potential students to Whitireia. To manage this demand, Whitireia recently piloted a programme aimed at increasing the numbers of staff who are able to engage in career conversations with students. This pilot targeted tutors of Youth Guarantee programmes and Enrolment Advisers. This training will be rolled out further in October 2012.

EXAMPLE: Industries

Faculty Engagement with Programme Pathways: Faculty of Service

Much work has been completed within the Faculty of Service Industries to better articulate study pathways for students to progress either within the Faculty or into other areas of the organisation. With the contestable Level 1 and Level 2 programmes for 2013, further work will be undertaken to ensure foundation students are even further supported on their study journey. This support will be in the form of regular individual meetings with pastoral care and academic support staff and mentoring with more senior students. Further staffing will be allocated to this area to provide meaningful support. It is planned to link with the new vocational strands to ensure successful transition from secondary school for our school leaver cohorts as well as providing for targeted and directed training to meet the needs of industry.

5. COLLABORATION TO IMPROVE LEARNER OUTCOMES AND OPERATIONAL EFFICIENY Over the next three years Whitireia will in partnership with WelTec provide clear and concise pathways for students between our two organisations. Whitireia will:  Enable seamless student engagement between Whitireia and WelTec to ensure the educational needs of students is first and foremost our highest priority  In partnership with WelTec, provide clear and concise pathways for students between our two organisations  Collaborate with other ITPs and Universities to improve the delivery of education to our communities.  Enhance the operational efficiency to ensure we remain financially sustainable Whitireia will achieve: Objectives

Shared Services

Staff Professional Development Campus Redevelopment: Completion of stage one Financial Surplus % Teaching FTE to EFTS Ratio

Success Measures 2013 Stage one of Shared services strategy implemented. New professional development framework approved and implemented Building 1 opened 3% 1:18

2014 Stage two of Shared services strategy implemented 80% of staff engaged in new framework. Building 2 construction underway 3% 1:19

Whitireia and WelTec have entered a strategic partnership to improve student engagement and performance between the two organisations. The two organisations operate a joint academic committee as part of the transition to remove duplication of provision and to provide clear and concise pathways for students between the two organisations. Table 20 identifies the first stage of highlighting the common educational provision between the two organisations. The long term goal is to create Centres of Excellence that will increase the quality of learning and learning opportunities for students at Whitireia and WelTec. Under investigation is the concept of co-locating complementary higher level programmes in areas of existing programme strength to create joint Centres of Excellence that will receive national and international recognition. Some possibilities to be investigated are Creative Arts, Technologies and Performance, and Health. The Centres of Excellence could include joint Schools with complementary programmes and specialist resources, and be aligned with priority sectors in the region.

PART TWO

SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY Whitireia intends maintaining its current strategic direction for the next three years. Within a fixed funding environment, Whitireia will grow in some areas to meet the new and changing industry requirements. These shifts must be balanced by reductions in other areas. Whitireia regularly monitors educational performance and stakeholder demand for its programmes. Low performing programmes will be reviewed annually and if no clear strategy exists to raise performance the programme will be closed. Whitireia was successful in its bid for the new level 1 and 2 contestable funding allocation. The bulk of the proposal was accepted and Whitireia will deliver 193 EFTS to the value of $1,678,059 IN 20132014. Degree programmes continue to meet the industry demand and the pipeline growth identified in the previous investment plan (Investment Plan 2011-2013) continues to impact on the overall provision at Whitireia. The decision to reduce in areas of activity has become more complex to remain within the TEC Funding Cap threshold of 97%-103%. In 2013, Whitireia is introducing two postgraduate qualifications in Information Technology as a response to industry needs for advance IT skills. The Postgraduate Certificate in IT and Postgraduate Diploma in IT have been developed with support and input from industry and will addressing a current shortage in advance IT skilled employees. Youth Guarantee scheme has been an asset for Whitireia to transition school students into tertiary education. Whitireia staff members have strong relationships with schools and are assisting identified young people struggling at school to engage with tertiary education via the Youth Guarantee Scheme. In 2013, Whitireia will have 191 Youth Guarantee places available.

101 For the next two years, Whitireia will deliver the following:
