At Oceania Career Academy, we believe in empowering Pasifika students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to succeed in life.

We have created an inclusive learning environment where we guide students to succeed both academically and professionally.

OCA focuses on responsible stewardship, acknowledging the privilege of educating young people, and being accountable for our actions. Working to empower students and support their aspirations, always striving to do what is right for them and their whānau.

We believe in offering support while expecting students to engage in their own learning.

• to provide a culturally responsive workshop and learning environment with wraparound whānau ora support considering the preferred learning styles of Pasifika students.
• to help students build confidence, independence, and workplace skills so they understand what employers expect and feel ready for work.
• to prepare graduates for apprenticeships, entry-level jobs that lead to apprenticeships, or further study in construction or health and wellbeing.

In 2015 OCA opened its doors for the first time. Our mission was to address the need for better education options in the Pasifika community and provide pathways to highly skilled, well-paid jobs.

We gained NZQA accreditation that same year and started offering qualifications in construction. Over the years, we’ve maintained a strong focus on empowering our students, achieving a high course completion rate, and ensuring that education leads to meaningful careers.

In 2023, OCA expanded its offerings to include health and wellbeing courses. This allowed us to further our mission to provide relevant and impactful training, creating more pathways to high-skilled employment in both the construction and health sectors.
