Te Haerenga - Māori and Pacific Employability Programme

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.

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. 

Participate in all six workshops and you will be eligible to receive a Te Haerenga certificate of participation at the end of the year. Depending on your level of engagement, you may also be considered for a special programme award.
