Proud to back the next generation of tradies 💪
For some time now, TIKIMAN has supplied branded gear to graduates of The Southern Initiative – Māori and Pasifika Trades Training (TSI MPTT), an Auckland Council initiative.
TSI MPTT supports Māori and Pasifika ākonga aged 16–40 in South & West Auckland to access fees-free pre-trades training, with pathways into employment, apprenticeships and further study. Working alongside training providers, employers and industry partners, they connect talent to industry and help ākonga grow their choices, wealth and whānau ora.
There's nothing better than seeing graduates head out to their new careers carrying gear we're proud to have made for them. Congratulations to every ākonga who's finished the course. The trades are lucky to have you!
Everyone's a winner 🏆
