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
 

  1. Officially align the micro-credentials with NZQA standards.
     

  2. 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.

​
