Comments from graduated students of the Whakaakoranga programme:

"Learning at Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga was a fun experience with lots of support from my tutor, fellow students and other staff members, in an environment where I was encouraged to be the best that I could be" (Graduand).

"Tau kē. Training at Te Taiwhenua helped me very much because without it I would not be employed and making a difference to our whānau out in the community. Mauri ora ki te mana Māori o Heretaunga" (Graduand).

"Being part of the Office Systems programme at Whakaakoranga has been a great experience for me. I have gained knowledge and have been given opportunities to get hands on experience. The time and support you get from the tutors helps to get a better result" (Office Systems Student)
