He Muka Tangata / Māori Leadership
Overview
Tuia ki runga, tuia ki raro, tuia te muka tangata.
Ka rongo te pō, ka rongo te ao, tīhei mauri ora!Unite above, unite below, unite the threads of people.
The night is felt, the day is felt, oh! T’is the breath of life.
He Muka Tangata is a new offering, our own Upskills public Te Puni Kōkiri cadetship for kaimahi Māori working in operational roles across many different organisations and sectors.
In this course we join two kaupapa – the New Zealand Level 3 Certificate in Business, Team Leadership, which empowers individuals to lead with confidence and the Te Puni Kōkiri Cadetship programme which aims to develop, mentor and train Māori staff at all career stages into higher-skilled roles.
We bring together the best of both worlds to design and deliver this qualification from a Te Ao Māori perspective that will impact your kaimahi Māori and every part of your organisation, through a combination of learning, mentoring, and on-the-job skill development.
This course is perfect for those stepping into a new role in managing people or as a brush-up for those who have been managing for some time but are without any formal training input.
