生活在新西兰，除了享受丰富的自然美景之外，国家免费的教育福利也颇为丰厚。新西兰不仅为未成年人提供免费的教育和医疗，成人教育基金也是政府教育支出的重要部分，用来帮助本地成人居民学习一门技能，以丰富劳动力市场、促进就业。

尤其是新冠疫情以来，为了应对疫情带来的冲击，新西兰开启了TTAF类教育基金，得到此类资助的学校对学生实行免学费政策，用以培养建筑相关专业以及医护行业等在劳动力市场上紧缺的专业人才。

政府出钱让咱来读书？听起来是不是很划算？

Skills Update Trading and Education Group是NZQA认证的一类教育机构（Category 1 provider ），是新西兰教育质量评级的最高级。学校成立于90年代，成立以来一直从事本地技能培训，帮助几万人实现了再就业和事业转型。Skills Update的课程现对新西兰公民、永久居民和resident visa持有者学费全免，毕业可获 NZQA认证证书，6月的课程有全职也有兼职的，奥克兰、基督城和陶朗加都有招生，快来看看有没有一门课适合您？
