A more effective model of support for Māori Level 4 Carpentry apprentices – reducing the time it takes to get qualified
Using kaupapa Māori interventions, this project was targeted at improving the support and delivery of carpentry apprenticeships for Māori, thereby increasing the number of qualified Māori builders
The issue
In the Te Pūkenga – Whitireia WeTec context, Kaupapa Māori informed support is provided to ākonga Māori to complete their pre-trade Carpentry qualification resulting in equity levels of achievement for these ākonga. However, upon transitioning to the qualifying level of the Carpentry qualification, the level of support provided has not resulted in ākonga Māori becoming qualified to levels needed by whānau, hapū, and iwi Māori.

Caveat/Note:
The interventions are framed within kaupapa Māori, which is more likely to be effective with ākonga Māori. It is research carried out by Kairangahau Māori for the direct benefit of ākonga Māori and their whānau.
