Pre-Trade
He Toki - Pre- Trade Training
PRE-TRADE He Toki is a pre-trade training program model delivered by Ara Institute of Canterbury and Otago Polytecnic. He Toki is a collaborative indigenous model of education that brings together iwi, industry, educational institutions, community organisations and government agencies. It builds upon the legacy of the Māori Trade Training initiatives of the 1950s and 1960s, and aims to strengthen the nature of education and grow the Māori work-force.
“Our mission is to ensure rangatahi are the rock stars of our economy, and the first in line for the jobs of the future.”
Since its establishment in 2011, over 1000 trainees have been prepared for opportunities in the trades sector.
These programs aim to build skills needed to participate within the building and infrastructure industries in Te Waipounamu.
