Having staff who could provide the skill sets needed to create this environment has allowed the roopu to develop and grow. Our staff specialise within 4 key areas:

1. Selection and administration of people on the programmes.
2. Pastoral care of people post course.
3. Specialised staff who provide a safe environment for individual and collective outcomes.
4. Incorporating NZQA qualifications, tikanga, mentoring and maintaining a safe environment.

Government, Non-Government Organisations, Iwi and Employers.

The Māori Pasifika roopū have created positive relationships with the Ministry of Social Development, Te Puni Kōkiri, Iwi, Māori organisations and employers that create a pathway for people to be recruited and then achieve employment success. This also allows the roopū to seek funding from a variety of organisations to achieve specific needs.

Mā te huruhuru, ka rere te manu - Adorn the bird with feathers, so it may soar.

This whakatauki can be used as a metaphor for our programmes. Our learners come from diverse backgrounds. Our programmes re-engage unemployed and under-employed in education and connects them to potential employers and organisations. We believe our learners are diamonds in the rough, with support they can shine and soar like the kārearea (NZ falcon).

Programme length can vary dependent of the requirements of the employer and organisation. Variations can go from a minimum of 3 days and then can be extended based of the funding requirements.

We also offer bespoke training programmes where we come onsite and provide training that is tailored specifically to your needs.
