About Us

Toi Ki Tua is a strategic initiative developed by Toi Kai Rawa to increase the participation of Māori in higher-skilled career pathways across the Bay of Plenty’s high-growth industries.

The programme exists simply to connect Māori tertiary students from Te Moana-a-Toi to high-value work opportunities across the Bay of Plenty – a place where they will contribute into the future.

He aha te tikanga o to tātou ingoa?

Toi represents the descendants of Toi (a shared tupuna of the Bay of Plenty), and Ki Tua means into the future. Toi Ki Tua signifies the descendants of Toi moving into the future with precision and confidence.
