Editor's Notes

  • #3 Add to grow the non TEC funded part of the Unitec business
  • #4 Note change to 3rd bullet point and deleting limiting the point to just the Auckland region. I think Unitec may have wider aspirations. Note that employers and the community do not necessary recognise the Unitec value just by witnessing the performance of graduates. Graduates are sometimes not good amabasadores through no fault of their own. The Business development manager will ensure Unitec value is rightly recognised through networking with the above stakeholders
  • #5 Note change to second bullet point
  • #6 Note addition of 3rd bullet point
  • #7 I would not place too much reliance on ATEED and Auckland Council. TEC, MED and other business groups are far mor important to Unitec
  • #8 Add links with other tertiary providers and benchmarking best practice internationally
  • #9 I would not place so much emphasis on local government
