The COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns has hit many of our parishioners' jobs hard with some losing jobs, or being repatriated into other areas, with some now having to retrain or compete with many others to find jobs.
That's why we decided to bring TWOA to our church community to see what is on offer that might be helpful to consider for study options for the new year so that people can enrol online as individuals or as a group and ask questions or get clarification on any courses that they might be interested in.
It's definitely not easy to go back to studying if you have been out of it for so long but it can also offer new choices for the new year. What is quite exciting is that there are fees free courses that you can study from home with a kaiako (tutor) coming to visit to see that you're still on track.
There are fees free campus based courses that are at our Mangere campus (just down the road from the church) that many can join with the option of morning, evening and weekend classes much like the Indigenous Research (Rangahau) course that I run.
There are also the options of the Police Prep, Bachelor of Teaching and Social Work, the Masters in Applied Indigenous Knowledge (fees apply for those courses) as well as learning Te Reo Maori and Tikanga (Maori & Indigenous cultural protocols and customs), Admin & computing which are still fees free courses.
Never a dull moment...
