set to be axed at Te Pūkenga
Te Pūkenga chief executive Peter Winder says the mega-institute will cut hundreds of jobs and sell some assets.
The organisation has taken over all polytechnics and most industry training organisations and has asked the government for $330 million from this year's Budget to pay for its transformation.
Winder told Nine to Noon today creating the institute would cost significantly less than original estimates of more than $400m, but would not provide an exact cost.
