Te Ao Māori
E ngā reo e ngā mana, ngā maunga whakahī o te motu, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou.
Our kaupapa
We offer whānau hapū and iwi Primary industry knowledge, and expertise to build capability on the whenua and the wai. We look to partner with our communities to complement and contribute to their economic aspirations through work-based training.
Developing people in the workplace is at the heart of our service by creating a wide range of programmes related to supporting our communities.
We use industry specialists, resources, and networks to respond to the needs of learners and businesses. Wherever possible, we include local mātauranga Māori shared by whānau to provide context and a sense of legacy.
We recognise and value the relationships that are critical for our learners to succeed. And when our learners do succeed, it reflects well on the people who have been part of the journey.
