This qualification will provide whānau, hapū, iwi, hapori, and

understand the importance of effective communication,
collaboration, and engagement in business; and who have the
ability to display these attributes, based on an understanding of
kaupapa Māori.
Graduates of this qualification will operate under broad

They are confident in working in bi- and multi-cultural
environments.

maintaining quality relationships. It embraces those skills and
