The 2023 PTE Strategic Fund round is open for applications.
This fund is a key part of the Unified Funding System (UFS) strategic component whose aim is to progress strategic priorities through addressing national and regional skills needs and supporting programme development and maintenance.
TEC is running a contestable process for all eligible PTEs to apply for funding under the national and regional skills priorities (NSRPs) and the programme development and maintenance fund (PDMF). Some $11.4 million is available under the NRSPs and a further $4.4 million under the PDMF.
There is an eight-week application window, with the deadline for applications on 9 September 2022. Applicants will be informed of the success of their proposals before the end of October.
We have published guidance and assessment criteria for applications, some funding examples, and a proposal template to use. The UFS team will run a series of webinars to provide support to PTEs for the duration of this first round.
