The Programme has a number of projects underway to improve the delivery of government services, and the social and economic outcomes for the people who live in Tāmaki now. Sitting alongside these projects is the proposed Tāmaki Development Plan, currently in draft, which sets to direct the strategies, priorities and stages of the 20 year urban regeneration.

Enhancing literacy through Manaiakalani Tamaki Learning Net

The objective of this project is to raise literacy levels across all schools in Tāmaki. The goal is to provide every year 5 to 13 student with a wireless enabled laptop and the ability to access school based internet services from home and school. Through the provision of an e-learning environment the project seeks to create a pathway towards digital enablement for the wider Tāmaki community.

Pathways to careers in health 

Working with the Auckland District Health Board, a partner of the Tāmaki Transformation Programme, this project sets to create a pathway for Tāmaki residents to become qualified health care professionals. Tāmaki residents, their whanau and aiga, will be supported based on their needs to ensure successful entry into a well paid job in the health sector.

Work experience for unemployed residents 

We help provide work experience for residents to improve their work skills and find out how suited they might be to different types of jobs. The Programme is working with local businesses in the area to identify their needs and liaising with Work and Income offices and Tāmaki College to match up 100 residents with work experience opportunities.

Improving children’s readiness to learn 

Working with the Ministry of Education, parents, educators and community groups this project sets to increase participation in early childhood education and pre-school health checks. Ensuring facilities match the aspirations of whanau is a current known gap. A community inspired action plan is being developed to understand, and help eliminate, the barriers to participation in pre-school educational activities.
