Taiohi Tu, Taiohi Ora Career Planning Workshops

Career Services offers career planning workshops around New Zealand for senior Māori students. Taiohi Tu, Taiohi Ora offers students the opportunity to identify their future career options in a series of career planning workshops.

First undertaken in 1998, Taiohi Tu, Taiohi Ora is run by Career Services on behalf of the Government for Year 11, 12 and 13 students.

The workshops involve activities and discussions to help students widen their job options, and think about what is important in making career choices. They examine their personal qualities, work values and skills, career interests and look at ways of overcoming barriers.

The next stage of the workshops focuses on work in the future and involves students learning how to use resources to gather information about jobs, labour market trends and training providers.

The aim of the workshops is to enable students to make informed decisions and positive choices for their future. They encourage students to be motivated to study and learn, and to be aware of the steps they need to take to achieve their goals.

The Taiohi Tu, Taiohi Ora program assists Māori youth to prepare for future challenges and to survive in a constantly changing work environment.
