David Pearson Chris Collins COUNCIL CHAIR CHIEF EXECUTIVE Image of TE WAHA O RŪAUMOKO courtesy of Te Rūnanganui o Ngāti Porou 5 2016 COUNCIL CHAIR & CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT It is pleasing to report that 2016 proved to be another strong year for EIT both in terms of educational developments and performance and with regard to our financial performance and end of year position. Student recruitment remained strong, both domestically and internationally; student educational success remained high; outreach into the wider regional areas of Hawke’s Bay and Tairāwhiti continued to grow; priority learner group participation and success remained high; and EIT’s educational programme portfolio continued to develop with new postgraduate, graduate, diploma and certificate offerings. EIT continues to be positioned and widely regarded as one of New Zealand’s leading institutes of technology. The performance across 2016 further enhances that. In 2016: ■ EIT received approval and accreditation for 45 new New Zealand Qualifications and two new Postgraduate Programmes. ■ EIT continued to host one of New Zealand’s largest Schools Trades Academies and remains one of the largest Youth Guarantee providers in New Zealand across the ITP sector. ■ Māori participation in Tairāwhiti is the highest of any institute of technology or polytechnic in New Zealand. ■ Enhancing student success remains a key institutional priority and strategies are being pursued to further that goal. ■ Approximately 800 students came to study at EIT from some 49 different countries around the world. ■ During 2016 a key highlight was the completion and opening of the new expanded veterinary nursing facilities in Hawke’s Bay. ■ The financial position of the Institution (parent) remains strong with a positive working capital of $18.2M, giving a ratio of 150%, and a sound cash flow operating surplus with solid cash reserves in hand. 6 EDUCATIONAL PORTFOLIO 2016 was a particularly challenging year with regard to academic programme and qualification development. The NZQA Mandatory Review of Qualifications has meant that, along with the wider tertiary sector, significant resources were applied to exiting retiring qualifications and developing new programmes of study that lead to newly developed qualifications across a wide range of fields of study. The amount of change on this front in a single year has been unprecedented. Staff across the Institute are to be commended for the commitment and work on this. In 2016 EIT received approval and accreditation for 45 new New Zealand Qualifications and two new Postgraduate Programmes. New areas of qualifications were approved during 2016, such as the New Zealand Diploma in Addiction Studies [Level 6]; New Zealand Certificate in Baking [Level 4]; New Zealand Certificate in Forestry Harvest and Operations [Level 4]; Mahinga Kai - Te Hoata New Zealand Certificate in Māori Traditional Food Production, Harvest and Management [Level 3]; Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Practice [Level 8] and Master of Professional Practice [Level 9]. EIT’s depth and range of qualification provision is extensive - from Level 1 through to Level 9 - as can be seen in the associated qualification graph below. Degree level qualifications [Level 7] continue to remain the single highest area of qualification enrolment at EIT, followed by Levels 2 and 3. This qualification mix reflects the needs of our region for access to quality higher education from foundation level education programmes through to degree and postgraduate level provision.

EIT continues to host one of New Zealand’s largest Schools Trades Academies and remains one of the largest Youth Guarantee
