33829 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Housing: Further to reply 30727 (2026), on which dates did the Kāinga Ora trades training partnerships end, and how many trainees were enrolled in that partnership at the time they were discontinued, broken down by partnership?

Hon Chris Bishop: Kāinga Ora informs me that the Lytton High School (Gisborne), WelTec (Wellington), and Onehunga High School (Auckland) trade academy partnerships concluded following the 2024 academic year. The Spring Hill Corrections Facility (Te Kauwhata) partnership concluded during 2021 due to the impacts of COVID-19. A proposed partnership with Papamoa College did not eventuate. Information on the number of trainees enrolled at the time these partnerships concluded is not held by Kāinga Ora.
