We need to make sure that students have the ability to match their skills and passions to downstream careers in the RSI sector. One way to achieve this would be to mandate internships for students with other entities in the RSi sector (e.g. private industry, CRIs, local government, iwi, central government) and/or placement at regional hubs. The co-location of government agencies, universities, and wānanga at regional hubs could potentially follow the model of shared campuses of government agencies and universities in the United States. This regional hub model is likely to facilitate benefit return and knowledge return to communities, but in addition, this needs to be explicitly required by all funding streams.
