Kaupapa Hirahira Highlights

An iwi-specific micro-credential, developed by Muka Tangata in collaboration with Te Pou Oranga o Whakatōhea, is now listed on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework.

We launched Soko ni Drua, a workforce development plan focused on strengthening outcomes for Pacific peoples in Aotearoa New Zealand’s food and fibre sector.

We have been collaborating with Whakatōhea to create an iwi-specific micro-credential, designed to incorporate the mātauranga they teach into formal learning for ākonga.

We provide investment advice to the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) to inform funding decisions for the qualifications and credentials.

The toolkit is for Providers and Programme Developers to design and deliver training that equips learners with the skills they need to excel in the evolving food and fibre sector.

The December 2024 update provides a forecast of the year to 30 June 2025.
