Kick-starting a career with TupuToa and Pharmac

Update Kauneke Update Rērere Kōrero

Each year Te Pātaka Whaioranga - Pharmac offers three paid TupuToa internships for Māori and Pacific tauira. We spoke to Sade Gilbert-Perenise (Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga) about the TupuToa internship and her placement at Pharmac.

Sade is a young Māori wahine. She is facing the left, wearing a graduation cap and gown, with a korowai over the top. The korowai has koru detailing around the top, and is primarily black, red and white. .
