Kia ora whānau,

Whenua Tech Incubator is looking to host a Rangatahi Māori Tech Meetup in Northwest Auckland at the end of March 2026.

This catch-up will create a safe, supportive space for rangatahi Māori who are curious about careers in technology.

We will explore pathways in:

💻 Programming
🔐 Cybersecurity
🤖 Artificial Intelligence
☁️ Cloud Computing
🎮 Game Development
🚀 Digital Entrepreneurship

This is not a formal course.

It is an opportunity to connect, ask questions, understand what real tech careers look like, and learn how to move from interest to opportunity, without compromising cultural identity.

We are currently gathering expressions of interest to confirm numbers before securing the venue.

If your rangatahi (aged 15–24) may be interested, please comment below or send us a message.

Let’s build pathways that honour who we are and prepare our young people for the future.

Mauri ora.

🧠💬 Industry is speaking, are we listening?

Employers across the tech sector are calling out 3 key frustrations when bringing new people onboard. From soft skill gaps to real-world inexperience, the challenges are real.

💡 The solution? Whenua Tech’s Bridge Model.

📦 Weekly Wrap – 24 to 30 June 2025

This week we focused on why we’re building the Whenua Tech Pipeline:

- To fix the gap between training and real-world readiness
- To let industry discover and mentor rangatahi before they graduate
- To build something that supports everyone rangatahi, employers, educators

Next week, we shift focus to the classroom.

📚 How will teachers use the Pipeline?
💡 How do we align learning with opportunity?

Let’s keep building. Together.

📢 Calling all tech employers, startups, and industry partners

When the Whenua Tech Pipeline goes live, you’ll be able to:

✅ Subscribe for access
✅ Search rangatahi by skills and study pathway
✅ Follow and mentor those who align with your kaupapa
✅ Offer micro-internships to develop real-world experience

This is your chance to move from “can’t find talent” to actively building it.

💼 “We can’t find rangatahi with the right experience.”

That’s what we keep hearing from industry.

It’s not a lack of talent.
It’s a lack of exposure to the tools and environments they’ll face once they land the job.

The Whenua Tech Pipeline is our answer:

🔹 Practical skills
🔹 Real-world platforms
🔹 Employer-led expectations

We’re done with disconnect. The bridge is being built.
