Tupu Aotearoa Programme - Nelson/Marlborough/Tasman Region

The Tupu Aotearoa Programme is a key intervention that has been proven to effectively assist Pacific people to achieve sustainable employment and undertake further training to increase their skills and qualifications.

Through this Programme, the Ministry for Pacific Peoples (MPP) assists Pacific people and their communities to achieve MPP’s overall outcomes of improved economic wellbeing and living standards for Pacific families and communities.

MPP is seeking providers with proven experience in providing successful employment placement and/or training placement services. Providers may propose to deliver either or both services. They should have the ability to provide a service that addresses clients’ needs and circumstances in order to support clients to move into sustainable employment as quickly as possible and/or complete a qualification in an approved course of study. This RFP relates to the delivery of services in the Nelson-Marlborough-Tasman regional areas.

Successful providers for employment placement services will have a good understanding of the barriers to employment that Pacific young people and Pacific adults face, good employer networks, strong relationships with Pacific organisations in the community that can help provide further support to clients as they enter and remain in employment, and the ability to provide ongoing direct support to clients to achieve sustainable employment.

Successful providers for training placement services will have a good understanding of the barriers to ongoing education that Pacific young people and Pacific adults face, good external training provider networks and strong relationship with Pacific organisations in the community that can help provide further support to clients as they enter and complete an approved course of study, and the ability to provide ongoing direct support to clients to achieve training qualifications.
Providers who can provide both employment and training placement services will have an advantage.
