Background:
A year-long project, completed in 2014 at Wellington Institute of Technology (WelTec), that aimed to evaluate in detail how the Pasifika Trades Training Initiative (PTTI) had performed at WelTec in the years 2012-2013 in terms of successful student outcomes.
The Pasifika Trades Training Initiative (PTTI) was developed by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) to encourage Pacific learners into pre-trades training and to provide skilled workers for the Christchurch rebuild. A unique aspect was the involvement of Pacific church ministers in student recruitment.
