Māori Trade Training in Christchurch
Canterbury Polytechnic Institute of Technology (CPIT) will be offering Māori Trade Training for 200 Māori youth living within Christchurch. The trade positions have been funded by Te Puni Kōkiri, and it is expected that the 200 Māori students will be placed into trade training positions at CPIT before the end of the year.
The trade training initiative is a partnership between Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, Te Tapuae o Rehua, CPIT and the BETA workgroup, with support from Ngāi Tahu Property.
The BETA workgroup will work closely with trade organisations to determine the skills needed in the post-quake environment.
