Te Ohu Kaimoana Chief Executive Peter Douglas feels strongly about the opportunity that the Global Fisheries Training Programme offers young Maori. The programme, jointly backed by Te Ohu Kaimoana and Japan-based fishing company Nippon Suisan Kaisha Ltd (Nissui), offers a “wonderful boost for a newcomer to move up, or it can be a real kick-start for someone already in the industry who wants to take their career to the next level”. He said previous recipients had found the scholarship had given their careers a tremendous boost. “It’s a very flexible programme. Scholars can have it tailored to their career goals in terms of what they do, but also how they do it. The base programme is for 12 months with Nissui in Japan, but it can also be structured in a more compact form for those perhaps for whom a year away from work and whanau is not possible,” Mr Douglas said.
