Ngā Peka o Toi is the sector-focused denomination covering the various sectors and industries Toi Mai represents in the vocational education and training space, including the creative, technology, entertainment, hairdressing and barbering, makeup artistry, skincare, journalism, radio and television broadcasting, gambling, and sports and recreation industries.
Developed through considerable research, data analysis, interviews and consultation, each industry and workforce development plan contains actions and recommendations aimed at ensuring the best vocational education outcomes for the following sectors:
Industry members, ākonga, education providers, and those with an interest in these sectors were encouraged to provide feedback on the draft plans.
The recommendations and actions contained in these plans incorporates what we heard from the interviews with industry and the wider consultation. Toi Mai would like to acknowledge and thank those who shared their invaluable feedback and insights.

This categorisation of our sectors came about following the release of the COVID-19 Recovery Baseline Engagement and Data (BED) Project, which identified the need for a more holistic identification of our workforces embedded in te ao Māori.
In March 2023, we released Te Wao Nui o Toi, which connected the film industry to the narrative of a forest ecosystem in the manner of Te Wao Nui a Tāne. Following the development of this kaupapa, our sectors – originally denoted as the creative, cultural, recreation and technology (CCRT) sectors – became Ngā Peka (branches) o Toi, each being a part of a wider Toi Mai ecosystem.
