Our Partnerships | Ō Mātou Hononga
Our Ngā Ara partnerships are focused on supporting, enabling and collaborating with organisations who share our aspirations for rangatahi.
Pūhoro
Pūhoro helps rangatahi see the connection between mātauranga Māori and STEM, improves their academic achievement, and provides pathways into high value careers.
Students receive weekly mentoring in their STEM subjects, attend wānanga at tertiary campuses each term and are offered internship and work experience opportunities to support their learning. Genesis has supported the launch of Pūhoro programmes in secondary schools close to our Tongariro and Waikaremoana Power Schemes.
Connexis
We partner with Connexis to host annual Girls with Hi-Vis events at our power stations, highlighting career pathways in the energy sector for wāhine.
Smart Waikato
Smart Waikato is an award-winning organisation raising student aspirations, resulting in higher achievement, retention and smoother transitions into work.
Oho Mauri
A vision to awaken the inner potential of rangatahi, through education, training and employment. Designing transitional pathways that are most meaningful for them.
