Mō Te Kaupapa

About The Project


The He Poutama Rangitahi programme is specifically designed to support young rangatahi in a tailored way to meet their specific requirements. Recognising a pathway to employment that suits their individual needs.

This programme supports our rangatahi with a full wrap around service, over a period of up to three-years where necessary. Our team are here with you across all the highs, lows, successes and trials during your time on the programme.

Alongside, providing practical support with aspects such as licensing, PPE and pre-employment safety training.



We offer advice and support with regard to education and training and help with enrolment and formalities. We provide mentorship throughout any training undertaken and work to secure industry connections to be used for work experience and employment transitions.

The programme is embedded with wellbeing supports delivered by a qualified Counsellor and Career Consultants.

Our staff mentor their rangatahi through their training, placement and beyond, as we know that finding your direction and pathway as a young person is not a straight path. Our programmes services are flexible, and we are able to be responsive to the individual needs of each rangatahi and their journey into the working world.
