Support Pasifika Entrepreneurship: Your Voice Matters
We Need Your Support!
The Cause Collective (TCC), Ringa Hora - Workforce Development Council, Zeducation and Skills Update are developing two micro-credentials to equip learners with the skills to succeed in entrepreneurship and business leadership.
​
We’re asking for your endorsement to support the registration of these micro-credentials with NZQA.
​
Your support will help us create accessible, culturally relevant education that empowers Pasifika communities.
Our Goal
Register Two Micro-Credentials
-
Officially align the micro-credentials with NZQA standards.
-
Provide learners with formal recognition for their skills and knowledge.

Why Your Support is Essential
By endorsing this initiative, you are helping:
-
Young Pasifika learners access quality education that aligns with their values and aspirations.
-
Create pathways into entrepreneurship and business leadership, enabling learners to start businesses, create jobs, and grow their financial resilience.
-
Build a lasting legacy of economic empowerment within Pasifika communities.
What Is A Microcredential?
A micro-credential is a small, stand-alone credential which provides a way to recognise a learner’s abilities while meeting demand from employers, industry, and communities.
​
The intent behind them is to create sub-qualification sized learning that is meaningful to employers, and valuable and transferable for learners.
​
Although they’re stand-alone awards, some micro-credentials may also form part of a programme that leads to a qualification.
​
