Te Pūkenga and AWS help Māori and Pasifika learners land tech roles at New Zealand organisations

AWS re/Start is a free, 12-week, entry-level cloud skills program that launched in New Zealand in March 2021. It prepares unemployed, underemployed, and transitioning learners for exciting and vital careers in cloud computing, including those from Māori and Pasifika communities. AWS collaborates with Te Pūkenga, the country’s largest tertiary education provider, and Unitec, the Auckland-based subsidiary of Te Pūkenga, to deliver the program locally.
