29502 (2026). Shanan Halbert to the Minister for Tertiary Education: How many staff at New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology were made redundant in 2025, listed by job title?

Hon Penny Simmonds: I am advised a total of 587 people were made redundant, including staff whose roles were disestablished in 2024 but redundancies occurred in 2025. I am advised that New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology did not collect job titles centrally for those redundancies.
