Vakameasina (translating to 'treasures we carry together') is an education and development programme for seasonal horticultural workers. Seasonal workers come to New Zealand for up to 7 - 9 months at a time under the NZ Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) scheme, which continues to develop with the growing horticulture industry across New Zealand. The contributing Pacific Island countries of Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Nauru and Papua New Guinea make up the participants in the programme.
Funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s New Zealand Aid Programme, the Vakameasina RSE Worker Training Programme continues to offer free education and development opportunities for all RSE workers across New Zealand. Vakameasina is an integral component of the RSE Scheme, and supports both RSE workers and employers with foundational courses for living and working in New Zealand. The larger outcomes of the programme are aimed toward participants leading development opportunities in their home countries.
Vakameasina aims to support individuals to pursue their own learning and development pathways by helping to grow confidence with new learning here in New Zealand, and developing goals and action plans for applying learning and resourcing at home. Business Development, Leadership, Women’s Leadership, Youth Leadership, Disaster Risk Management, Climate Change Resilience, House Design and Build, Potable Water Solutions, Solar Power, and Small Engines are some of these elective avenues RSE workers can pursue.
