What is the relationship between the skills, qualifications and experience of employees and the literacy and numeracy practices in their jobs? What is the extent of match and mismatch between the literacy skills of employees and their literacy and numeracy practices at work? What access do people with low skills and frequent literacy and numeracy job practices have to further education and training?

Existing Pacific Islands research in New Zealand has small numbers of Cook Islands descent participants and generally present the views of the majority Pacific ethnicity represented in the study. This overshadows insights from smaller ethnic nations – Cook Islands women are a minority group amongst minority communities.
This study addresses this phenomenon by placing the voices of Cook Islands women front and centre. Using the Cook Islands research methodology, Tivaevae, this study investigates the strategies Cook Islands women used to successfully progress their careers in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Tivaevae is a bedspread-sized cloth or quilt traditionally handmade by Cook Islands women, and generally depicts stories of natural fauna and flora found in the Cook Islands. As a research methodology, the Tivaevae ensures each stage of the research process maintains the values of Pacific cultures and presents Pacific views appropriately. The process of making the tivaevae can be replicated into four broad stages of the research design of a Cook Islands study (Futter-Puati & Maua Hodges, 2018):
- ‘Akapapa: which means planning the patterns, stiches, fabric, colours and timing for the tivaevae. Or in other words planned research activities.
- ‘Akauru: having speciality knowledge and skills to collaborate with others, or data collection
- Paokti: to cut patterns, analyse and interpret designs for the tivaevae, or to analyse data,
- O’ora: presenting the cloth or quilt for all to see or presenting findings and the final research report

Saili Malo is a Samoan concept focused on attaining a "prosperous life" and often the journey to get there is supported by a plan that informs a pathway. The Saili Malo career resource Level Up! Prepare for your Future is a set of activity workbooks developed exclusively for Talanoa Ako partners and provides resources focused on career activities that learners of different ages and their parents can both engage in. The resource is made available (in electronic form) to schools and educators who will be able to embed careers into their teaching.

An investigation into the role of existing career practitioners supporting the career pathways of Pacific youth in South Auckland, unpacking the cultural, political, social, and historical landscape in playing a significantly role in youth's career decisions and aspirations.
The Australian Pacific family may differ in location and historical narrative from New Zealand, but the migrant story and the diasporic Pacific communities share similar aspirations and social norms that shape the career pathways of Australian Pacific youth.
The presentation is a journey into the evolution of Peter's aspiration to infuse Pacific indigeneity into the foundation of his career development practice BrownTale.
Peter will emphasise the Pacific community's value of collaboration, communalism, constructive interdependence and the underlying virtue of service and give an insight into the Pacific & Māori cultural competency frameworks such as Tapasā for education, Fonofale & Te whare tapa whā used by health professionals.
