Future Māori Leaders
Ngā Rangatira o Āpōpō
What Would it Take to Grow a Whole New Cohort of Future Māori Leaders in the Telecommunications Sector?
Our Future Māori Leaders (FML) programme is part of our overarching workforce programme. FML focuses on building and supporting Māori who choose to explore or work in the wireless network and adjacent technologies sectors. The programme supports Māori on their telecommunications journey at any stage in their studies, jobs and careers.
The goal is to build a generation of leaders.
FML members will receive access and/or support for coaches, industry networks, industry certifications, workshops on leadership, and be considered for scholarships and internships, professional development, and get other support for their learning and jobs – all helping them progress faster and further on their pathways.
The FML members will also form a circular support system where those already in our programmes or in stable pathways, will be invited to provide support to their peers with our overarching guidance and oversight.
Contact us if you are on a pathway for electrical and electronics engineering, telecommunications fields at any level, or just curious.
