Te Haerenga - Māori and Pacific Employability Programme
Te Haerenga has been designed to equip and empower you to make informed career decisions as you transition into the world of work.
Te Haerenga | The Journey
Kia ora, Kia Orana, Bula vinaka, Mālō e lelei, Fakaalofa lahi atu, Talofa!
We welcome all Māori and Pacific undergraduates (from first to final year) to register for the Te Haerenga - Māori and Pacific Employability Programme.
Te Haerenga was created to equip and empower you with the confidence, knowledge, and capabilities to make informed career decisions as you transition into the world of work. We focus on cultural identity, helping to build confidence and understanding of the value that your unique story can hold in the workplace.
Programme details
Te Haerenga is comprised of six tailored workshops to help you prepare for the workforce, all of which will be run by our Māori and Pacific career consultants.
