Manaaki Vocational Short Term Training Scholarships fund professional training, work placements, or online and in-country learning lasting from one week to twelve months. Programs must align with national workforce needs and New Zealand priority sectors. Support includes tuition, training costs, a weekly living allowance, and necessary travel. Applicants must satisfy citizenship, residence, age, work-experience, employer-endorsement, and course-entry rules. Some countries accept applications year-round while others publish opening and closing dates through the local New Zealand mission.
