Waikato Engineering Education Fund builds capacity

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Creating a long-term local solution to the growing skills shortage in the engineering sector is the aim of a new philanthropic investment fund at Momentum Waikato.

The Waikato Engineering Careers Association (WEEF), which will focus on innovation, diversity and equity in the industry, was launched by the Waikato Engineering Careers Association (WECA) at its recent 20th Anniversary event at The University of Waikato’s impressive new Pā.

Hanga-Aro-Rau, the Workforce Development Council for Manufacturing Engineering and Logistics, applauds this new Fund, as the skills gap is currently set to grow by 38 per cent to 40,000 workers by 2028.
