Connecting Māori to spectrum opportunities
Ko wai mātou | About us
For generations Māori have asserted our rights to radio spectrum, leading to significant milestones in the recognition and promotion of Te Reo Māori. In 2022, the Crown recognised Māori interests in the radio spectrum and agreed to establish Tū Ātea.
The Tū Ātea workforce programme will create a pipeline of Māori talent and offer them new routes to skills, qualifications, jobs, businesses and entrepreneurship in the telecommunications sector. It supports the acceleration of Māori into high-value jobs, careers and businesses. It will do this by creating a practical and highly supported environment that offers a new generation of Māori workers everything they need to launch their futures in work and businesses.
