A message from Te Ohu Pūkenga Mō Te Rāngai Pāpāho Māori
Share your whakaaro on the Māori Media Sector workforce
We are working with, and on behalf of the sector, to provide advice to the Minister for Māori Development on a ‘workforce and capability strategy to grow and retain talent in the Māori media sector’ to be reported to Cabinet in June 2023. A critical part of this is having good data and information to help us build a better understanding of the size, nature and diversity of our workforce, and what is needed to support its growth and development.
We’re seeking responses from Owners/Managers, Staff Members and Contractors. To help us get the fullest picture possible, we invite you to complete our (anonymous) survey by Friday 11 November 2022.
