Kei Aku Ringa
Māori Trade Training Programme
Enhance your workforce
We partner with businesses and employers who provide industry training to new or Year 1 apprentices.
We integrate Te Ao Māori into our work with apprentices. This might include workshops, relationship-building and cultural sessions, delivered outside work hours, to enrich both the professional and cultural development of apprentices.
We have seen the positive difference Kei Aku Ringa has made not only in the lives of our rangatahi, but also on worksites. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to know more.
