Student Placements

At the hub we open the doors wide for our whānau to grow, learn, and step confidently into their future. Across our whare, a diverse range of placement opportunities are available to support you on your journey toward gaining recognised qualifications.

Whether your passion is Kaitiaki Whenua and Haumarutanga teams — the groundskeepers and security who uphold the safety, mana, and mauri of our environment — to the heart‑centered fields of counselling, psychology, social services, and AOD support, we provide hands‑on experience grounded in tikanga and real‑world learning.

For those with a love of research, innovation, or digital creation, we also offer placements in kaupapa‑driven research projects and programming roles, giving you the chance to develop skills that contribute to the wider vision of our whare and community.

Every placement is more than just work experience — it is an opportunity to learn within a whānau‑based environment, guided by values of Manaakitanga and Kotahitanga. Here, you are supported, encouraged, and empowered.
