Whare Ako Mahi
Whare Ako Mahi serves as the training subsidiary operating under the auspices of Tāne Mahuta. Here, we orchestrate a spectrum of training and employment initiatives, including our flagship programs like LYWE™ Learn While You Earn, Ahumahi Mai - Give it a Go, cadetships, and an array of other dynamic programmes aimed at fostering skill development and employment opportunities. Whare Ako Mahi embodies innovation, efficiency, and a resolute dedication to bridging the gap between learning and practical experience.
Through Whare Ako Mahi, we run cadetships and diverse initiatives, each designed with meticulous attention to empowering individuals with the necessary skills, mentorship, and resources to thrive in their chosen fields. Our commitment transcends more than training; it fosters a culture of empowerment, where individuals are equipped with the tools to navigate the professional landscape with a high level of confidence and competence.
On our Learn While You Earn LWYE™ tauira (students) can learn and earn as they work on their whenua. They experience kinaesthetic on-the-job training as they work, and complete in-class assessments and some online learning while they are earning a wage. Trainers provide individual training plans tailored to each person on our programme, encompassing their skill and learning abilities.
