Apply here for our 12 week Tukua Toi experience.
​
Starting Feb 16th, we'll help you plan for your creative future, introduce you to a whanau who are doing the same, and walk with you towards your creative goals.
Thriving Entrepreneurs
To enhance creativity and innovation in Manukau, and see our people know and grow in their potential, Tukua supports creators, innovators and entrepreneurs to thrive!
​
It is an active community of innovators and entrepreneurs led by tikanga Maori and Pasifika values.
Fostering connections, peer support, knowledge sharing and instilling a growth mindset not only enhances the individual but also their whanau and community.
​
Tukua is a journey of education and growth that supports and encourages our people to overcome limitations and realise their dreams.
