The document summarizes how Kay Giles' organization has reinvented itself in response to the needs of the Canterbury region after earthquakes. It discusses trends in student numbers and recruitment, making trades training a priority by targeting underrepresented groups. It also focuses on STEM programs and is undertaking a $200 million campus redevelopment. The organization has worked to continue operating, engage with the community, and meet changing student and employer expectations around work-readiness and skills.
