"The Manawatū Chamber of Commerce has enjoyed a mutually beneficial partnership with UCOL for many years. We work alongside each other to develop industry micro-credentials, connections for internships, work experience and employment, and advocacy support. UCOL supports the business community through scholarship opportunities and Assessment of Prior Learning, and benefits from the Chamber’s sharing of labour market information to inform future vocational training requirements”
