I whakarewa ai ngā karahipi ono rau rima tekau e Māori and Pasifika Trades Training mō te tau e tū mai nei hei whakaawe i te hunga e whaia ana i tēnei huarahi mahi. Ko te kore utu mō te akoranga te whainga nui ā me te whiwhi i ngā akoranga tika kia whai turanga mahi a tōna wā.
Nō te tau rua mano tekau mā wha, i kō atu i te rua mano toru rau ngā rangatahi tāne, wāhine mai hoki i whai hua i ēnei karahipi. E tipu matomato ana tēnei ahumahi ki rō Aotearoa, e kōpaka ana i te toru mano tāngata pukenga nui mā ngā karahipi ka āhei te whakakī i ngā whārua nui. He wā tōna ki muri kīhai te hunga Māori Pasifika hoki i whai i ēnei mahi hēoi inaianei rātou tonu e whiwhi ai ki ngā hua. Ka taea te tono i ēnei karahipi mā te whakapā atu ki a Shelley Riley, Pouwhakahaere o MPTT.
