Kaupapa Tiaka Taiohi Youth Guarantee

 

CPIT offers students the opportunity to study for free under a Government-led initiative - Youth Guarantee scheme.

Open to 16 and 17 year olds, the scheme is for those who are ready to move beyond school but who still want to study and learn practical skills. Youth Guarantee students have their own classes to ensure they get the necessary support they need and are with students of the same age and maturity.

  • must be 16 or 17 years of age and not turn 18 within three months of starting the programme
