Founded in 2011, MITA Consulting was built on a simple goal—to support the development of a skilled, safe, and capable workforce within the electricity supply industry.
From its early beginnings, led by Dave Edgar—whose career started as a line mechanic and grew across training, leadership, and industry engagement—MITA has evolved into a trusted training provider across Aotearoa. Alongside him, Janet Edgar has ensured the business operates with strong systems, seamless administration, and a focus on stakeholder experience.
Today, MITA is powered by a team of passionate kaimahi and experienced kaiako, supported by contract trainers, assessors, and industry experts. Together, they bring decades of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of the sector.
With a nationwide footprint, MITA continues to deliver training that is practical, relevant, and aligned to industry needs—helping learners build confidence, capability, and careers, while supporting employers to meet the demands of an evolving energy sector.
