So what???

• 1. What stands out for you?
• 2. What do you disagree with?
• 3. What is the issue to be addressed?
• 4. What urgency is felt about this issue?
• 5. What do we know about the causes?

What more do we need to know?

Next steps

• 1. Māori receive low incomes
• 2. Māori are in low skill jobs

Moving beyond good intentions

Problem is clearly defined Problem is hard to define with many parts Solutions is a predictable process Solution requires changes to beliefs & ways of working Focus on short-term outputs Focus on long-term outcomes Project delivery Changing conditions & systems Address symptoms Tackle root causes

OUR APPROACH

Create transformational education and training pathways to provide whānau with the education they deserve and connect them to the jobs of the future Work across education, employers, agencies and whānau to build an integrated careers system to boost Māori outcomes Move beyond BAU by supporting partners to create new solutions, innovate, learn and adapt

How it would work

Join our collective and champion the cause Identify your champions & know what you bring to the table Change isn’t ‘out there’ but ‘in here’
