Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa has been working hard to develop and implement a Workforce Development framework to service the employment gaps within the Whakatāne district. Whilst we are still in our infancy, we have secured a small portfolio of training courses to offer to our whānau and wider hāpori.

Our primary focus is the Marine sector and servicing the recruitment deficit at Extreme Boats. However, we have now moved towards other sector-related and short courses.
