Bub Konia and Richard Templer are both amazing people in their own right. Their common place of mahi - Te Ao Rangahau | Engineering New Zealand - is one of the things that ties them together and the reason for this paired episode. Bub and Richard speak to the past and present journey the organisation has and is on in embedding te ao Māori in to the engineering industry. The kōrero is centred around 'kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua' ~ looking backward to go forwards. When we look back, they speak to how and why the organisation was gifted the ingoa Māori ‘Te Ao Rangahau’ by Tā Tamati Reedy and how the standard has been set so that engineering is no longer just thought of as 'the people who drive the trains’. When we go forward, they speak to the recently launched rautaki | strategy of ' Kimihia Rangahau '. The kōrero delves into so much more than what can be written in this box!
