Funding for Programmes

Revised reinvestment criteria

PTES seeking funding for their programmes in 2008 should note the revisions that have been made to the reinvestment template.

The key revision relates to D1: Point of Difference. PTEs will need to show how a particular qualification reflects the specialist provision of their PTE and contributes to a network of provision at local, regional and national levels.

The deadline for reinvestment applications is June 8.

For more information on the reinvestment guidelines and process, refer to the TEC website at www.tec.govt.nz.
