NGĀTI WHAKAUE GOVERNANCE WĀNANGA

Ngāti Whakaue Governance Wānanga aims to upskill Ngāti Whakaue whanaunga who aspire to pursue a governance pathway. We have held two highly successful programmes so far with participants going on to secure 13 governance appointments and counting.

The two-day programme consists of

1. Ngāti Whakaue Governance Wānanga

This section is to build participants’ knowledge and understanding of Ngāti Whakaue governance history, theory and practice.

2. Governance Essentials Course – Institute of Directors

This section will enable participants to gain a confident grasp of the western concepts of effective governance, productive board relationships and robust board processes and protocols.

Outcomes

The aim of the course is that participants will gain a balanced perspective on governance principles and theory, which will support them to critically approach governance roles and responsibilities. We believe that this balanced perspective will give our aspiring governors a competitive advantage over those with only an understanding of western governance.

“E mihi ana ki ngā kaiako o tēnei kaupapa me te Assets Trust nā koutou kaupapa i whakahaere mō ngā māma o Ngāti Whakaue. Ka nui ngā akoranga i ako e au mō te hoko whare me te pūtea kua rau atu ki taku kete mātauranga. He wheako pai, he painga hoki mō āku tamariki i te mea ka tīmata ināianei te whakatō i ēnei mōhiotanga ki roto i a rātou / I am very grateful that I was fortunate enough to do this course. Financial literacy is so important, and in today’s climate without all of the expert knowledge and guidance we received the road to home ownership would be very hard.”

WHAKAUE PAKIHI

In December 2021 the Trust launched the Whakaue Pakihi app, an online marketplace.

Whakaue Pakihi is about promoting and celebrating our Whakaue-owned businesses in these tough COVID times, “mō te painga o te iwi” – because our businesses are so important to the wellbeing of the iwi as well as the wider hapori. We were so proud to be able to showcase 48 amazing Whakaue pakihi. We want to thank all of our Whakaue businesses for being a part of this kaupapa, and to the iwi for supporting our Whakaue pakihi.

Whakaue Pakihi App

PAKU KŌRERO

He kohinga kōrero e pā ana ki ngā tini tūranga mahi o ō mātau whanaunga me ō rātau wheako, hai toutou i te ahi o Whakaaro mō ngā huarahi mahi.

Paku Kōrero is a collection of light conversations with our Whakaue whanaunga about their working lives and experiences to inspire rangatahi.

INTERNSHIPS

Internships are excellent opportunities to give our Whakaue rangatahi work experience within ideally excellent organisations that are either tailored specifically to Māori rangatahi or develop capability in a role or industry that is underserved within the iwi. The Trust have enabled internship opportunities for Ngāti Whakaue Rangatahi within the Trust and at Heartland Bank, Crankworx and Infracore.
