Interested in an agricultural career?
Ngāi Tahu Farming’s proposed developments will create hundreds of new jobs. To help Ngāi Tahu whānau make the most of this opportunity they have teamed up with Lincoln University and Te Tapuae o Rehua to establish Whenua Kura.
Whenua Kura is an educational pathway that will help Māori gain the qualifications and knowledge to become leaders in the dairy industry. The course will be grounded in our cultural values so these values are reflected in the way Ngāi Tahu farms operate.
On Tuesday 10 December 2013 a tour of the Ngāi Tahu farms will be held for Māori interested in working in the dairy sector.
The Ngāi Tahu farm tour would be suitable for those:
- Interested in studying a tertiary qualification relating to the agricultural sector
