As an establishment and point of interest, we offer a wide range of work-based training programmes in the food and fibre sector. With over 120 programmes available, ranging from short courses to New Zealand Certificates, Apprenticeships, and Diplomas, we cater to individuals at various stages of their careers.

At Primary ITO, we believe in the importance of practical training, which is why we require our trainees to be employed, unless they are still in school and participating in a programme through us. However, if you are currently seeking employment, we provide valuable information on job opportunities and insights into different sectors within the food and fibre industry.

Primary ITO operates as a business division of Te Pūkenga Work Based Learning Limited, which is part of Te Pūkenga - New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology. This affiliation ensures that our training programmes are of the highest quality and aligned with industry standards.

To further support our students, we offer information about available funding options, including the Fees Free initiative and the Apprenticeship Boost programme. These initiatives aim to alleviate financial barriers and make our training accessible to a wider range of individuals.
