If you run a business, AI can save time, cut costs, solve problems and open new opportunities.

The Trust’s Tairawhiti AI Workshops delivered in partnership with Aroha AI help communities across the rohe learn how to use AI safely, ethically and effectively, even if you’re starting with the basics.

Our approach is practical, focusing on real tasks from your own mahi rather than generic training. We’ll show you tricks and tips to get the best out of a range of AI tools, while also protecting your data and intellectual property.

Tairāwhiti AI Workshops offer:

Practical support: Bring your real task, idea, or problem — we’ll help you put AI tools to work straight away and create safe, repeatable systems.
Opportunity Assessments: Get one-on-one guidance to help identify where you could apply AI in your business.
Build an understanding: Where is AI heading and why you should care.
Connect: Free sessions for the community to learn, experiment, and build digital confidence.

Workshops are free but places are limited, and registration is required
