New Zealand Screen Industry Training Programme: Case Study Final Report 2025

December 2025

Toi Mai recently attended a special graduation ceremony in celebration of 28 graduates who completed the National Screen Skills Training Programme, Kahurangi Toi Ātea.

Kahurangi Toi Ātea is a NZQA-approved National Screen Industry Training Programme for below-the-line crew in Aotearoa. This industry-led programme provided participants with the opportunity to learn specific departmental skills from industry professionals and apply these on-set with a large-scale production.

Marking the end of a successful pilot programme that included paid training on the Holy Days film set in Ōtautahi Christchurch, a final report outlining the aspects of the programme and its results can be found here: Kahurangi Toi Ātea – New Zealand Screen Industry Training Programme: Case Study Final Report 2025.

Following on from the Kahurangi Toi Ātea pilot, Share the Knowledge and industry experts will continue work on the next prototype for screen training, ensuring there is a sustainable and effective model that provides a strong bridge between training and industry, and continues to make this economically significant sector thrive.
