The New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology (NZIST), which polytechnics and ITOs are now part of, formed earlier this year – and we want to ensure that the student voice is at the centre of their decision-making.

The symposium’s themes, informed by a student survey sent earlier this year, are:

• Our needs

• Our culture

• Our future
