A report on the success of Pacific learners in the workplace was launched at the Pacific Tertiary Education Forum in Auckland in October this year.

The research report, Pacific Learner Success in Workplace Settings, focuses on exploring key links, barriers and solutions leading to higher achievement for Pacific learners in the workplace.

The first two recommendations are:

1. Engage with Pacific families and learner support networks to disseminate information about industry training opportunities, and information that addresses the misperceptions about the ‘value’ and requirements of workplace learning.
2. Create a ‘culture of motivation’. Understand what motivates Pacific learners in industry training in order to establish and develop positive future-focused goals.
