Massey University and the Pacific Business Trust have launched a bespoke tertiary education programme to support young Pacific Islands entrepreneurs and business startups.
The Auckland not-for-profit has designed the Hatch Youth project to help Pacific Islands students gain access to business opportunities and mentoring through an accelerator programme at Massey.
The three-year course will start in February 2018, and is open to individuals and business teams of up to five people.
