Kia Tū develops whānau aspirations and builds a foundation of capability needed to access work and life opportunities in the region at a Hapū and whole of community level.

This programme will contribute to realising our inter-generational capability strategy through the TAAK kaupapa intent to disrupt patterns of inequality. We will do this by ensuring participants build the capability needed to access decent, life affirming vocational opportunities in the Region.

This will mean a lift in whānau incomes and ability to thrive and actively participate in our community.

A programme developed for all

The programme has been developed for all people – including students, the unemployed, and Youth at Risk of Limited Employment (YARLE).

Using the Kia Tū programme, the active voice of whānau defines the preferred pathways in life and work.
