History
On 1 April 2020, Manukau Institute of Technology was subsumed into the New Zealand Institute of Skills & Technology, alongside the 15 other Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs).[4]
In mid-July 2025, the Vocational Education Minister Penny Simmonds announced that the Government would merge MIT with the Unitec Institute of Technology into a new stand-alone entity by 1 January 2025.[5][6]
On 1 January 2026, the combined Unitec/MIT polytechnic entity formally exited Te Pukenga and became an independent entity.[7] In mid-February 2026, the Government allocated NZ$52 million to the combined United/MIT polytechnic to assist with the transition.[8]
