University of Waikato associate dean of enterprise, corporate and executive education Peter Sun says the new strategic plan is to have partnerships with corporations because then a long-term contract is embarked upon and numbers for the Diploma in PFP are guaranteed.
In previous years Waikato has run the course publicly even if it did not have the required numbers, sometimes running at a loss.
