Tahatū Career Navigator is a new interactive careers website designed to give you and your rangatahi a new way to explore career advice and information.
All schools and kura kaupapa Māori across the motu will use Tahatū to help students confidently navigate their way from school to the workplace.
While Tahatū is for all New Zealanders, this rollout stage is focused on secondary schools and kura across Aotearoa, New Zealand. Tahatū is still being developed before being made available to all New Zealanders later this year.
Tahatū has been created to provide inspiration and information about how to get into study, training and work. It’s designed to help your rangatahi decide what kind of work they might like to do and how they can get there.
Choosing a direction in life can be challenging for rangatahi, and they may turn to you for guidance. Tahatū will support you as you work together to navigate towards an exciting future.
Tahatū is the next generation of the careers.govt.nz website. It provides new interactive tools and refreshes the best of its content and functions.
You’ll find information for nearly 100 NCEA subjects from the New Zealand Curriculum and Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, over 4000 qualifications in one place, and be inspired by more than 800 career ideas. This includes kaupapa Māori career ideas that reflect te ao Māori cultural values, skills and knowledge.
Check out the ‘Interest quiz’, a quick and easy quiz that can help your rangatahi discover their interests and explore future careers that align with them. In less than 10 minutes, students can better understand what they’re interested in and how they can apply that knowledge to the world of work. Based on their top interests, rangatahi get personalised suggestions on work areas and career ideas that you can explore on Tahatū, helping them feel more confident about the journey ahead.
Found the perfect career idea or a handy guide on Tahatū? You and your rangatahi can create a Tahatū account and save it to My Kete to revisit and discuss later.
