    • Training for a career in the mining industry

    The West Coast’s Tai Poutini Polytechnic is the only New Zealand institution delivering mining industry training. In 2003 Tai Poutini Polytechnic, in partnership with industry, opened the Reefton Education Centre for training in civil plant operation. Following the success of this initiative Tai Poutini Polytechnic has now expanded these training opportunities through the development of a 'sand pit' for higher level training with heavy plant for the Civil Construction, underground and surface mining and forestry industries. Tai Poutini Polytechnic has further expanded the range of training to the mining and construction industry.
