At TupuToa, our vision is to grow Māori and Pacific leaders for a greater Aotearoa. Our journey started in 2016 with 28 Māori and Pacific interns studying at tertiary level who were placed within various corporate roles in Auckland. We now anticipate an intern cohort of 350+ across Aotearoa and abroad, within corporate, government and community organisations. As an organisation we look to address the persistent inequalities facing our communities and disrupt intergenerational disadvantage. We work to reduce entry and advancement barriers which are biased against Māori and Pacific communities and support organisations in successfully recruiting and onboarding Māori and Pacific peoples in to the business world of mahi.
