Māori Tech company to support the delivery of basic digital skills programme at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa campuses around the country.

Arataki Systems, a Māori technology start-up specialising in building digital storytelling platforms, announced that they have partnered with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa to help deliver Kanorau Digital, a digital literacy skills and capability training programme. Primarily aimed at Māori and Pasifika communities, Kanorau Digital is open to participants who are 18+ and are looking to improve their basic digital literacy skills.

The programme aims to provide the core foundation of digital skills and knowledge that will enable whānau to participate in a digitally enabled world and close the digital divide. This is an amazing opportunity for our Māori and Pasifika whanau who wish to learn basic digital skills for at-home use and to up-skill in a forever evolving digital world.

We are privileged to be a part of Kanorau Digital, an empowering kaupapa that we believe will help our people to safely navigate into the digital age.”
