Loan Regalia for Wāhine in Trades & Engineering
Thanks to the generous support of our Wintec sponsors, we are proud to offer seven sets of loan regalia for our wāhine (women) graduating from Trades and Engineering programmes. This includes graduates from automotive, plumbing, electrical, culinary, construction, and engineering.
How to apply
Just complete the form below to apply.
Loaning the regalia is free of charge. However, as the number of sets is limited, availability cannot be guaranteed and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
About the initiative
This initiative is about more than just regalia — it’s about uplifting and honouring the journey of our wāhine in these industries. As part of this kaupapa, we ask each wearer to contribute to a growing legacy of stories and inspiration that will be shared with future graduates.
