Whakapiki Ake wants to connect with rangatahi Māori in Years 12 and 13 taking two or three pure sciences (including Biology, Chemistry, Physics). We provide a supportive network for rangatahi to gain exposure to health-related careers and professionals, access to tuākana Māori, and build a foundation for success from secondary into tertiary education.

PATHWAYS TOWARDS A CAREER IN HEALTH

The first step is a visit with Whakapiki Ake. The second is uncovering the future potential of our rangatahi Māori. Through amazing opportunities and whānau support, we help students navigate their journey into health careers, providing guidance and connection every step of the way.
