Primary ITO aims to help New Zealand’s primary sector flourish by growing people’s skills. We lead work-based education and training across the many industries in the primary sector.

We firmly believe that on-the-job training is the future of learning

That can be supported by online and in-person learning where those are the best options. People earn while they learn, and businesses get value from their staff from day one. Better skills enable people to be more productive and lead more fulfilling and rewarding work lives. 

We support people throughout the country

In 2023, we had around 14,000 learners at around 4500 different workplaces around the country. At Primary ITO, we pride ourselves on being up driveways, at the end of dirt roads, on the factory floor, online or in the classroom. Whatever it takes to support our learners.

We support learners from start to finish

We support learners all the way from introductory programmes and our schools-based Trades Academy, through to apprenticeships and management diplomas.

We design training and assessment for the workplace, so employees can learn on the job while gaining real-world industry experience.
