Māori and Pacific students, recruitment season is here! Join us to hear top interview tips from the TupuToa team.

TupuToa is more than a programme connecting rangatahi with job opportunities. It is about preparing Māori and Pacific students to thrive in professional spaces where representation, leadership and cultural identity matter.

This session is designed to help you approach applications and interviews with confidence and clarity.

By attending, you’ll walk away with:

  • A stronger, sharper CV
  • A clear, repeatable cover letter formula
  • Confidence answering behavioural interview questions
  • Practical tools you can use immediately
  • Insider insights into how recruiters evaluate candidates

This session isn’t about “fitting in”. It’s about learning how to own your narrative, speak to your strengths with confidence, compete strategically and step into professional spaces knowing you belong there.

Whether you’re applying for internships, graduate roles or your first professional opportunity, you’ll gain practical tools that go beyond generic templates and support your long-term career journey.
