Rangatahi Māori Leading Aotearoa’s Clean Energy Future
This research report highlights the importance of cultural relevance, visible pathways, and hands-on experiences, showing that, when rangatahi (young people) can see themselves reflected in learning and can engage directly with technology and real-world projects, their confidence and aspirations grow.
Te Ara Pūngao
Completed in partnership with Massey University, this research provides valuable insights for educators, whānau, community partners, and industry, helping guide how we design programmes, support career pathways, and strengthen rangatahi engagement in sustainable energy futures. With the right support, this work lays a strong foundation to expand opportunities, connect rangatahi into meaningful careers, and ensure that Māori voices and leadership remain central in shaping Aotearoa’s energy transition.
