Nga ra ki tua - Recruiting for the Future

Rua’s recruitment strategy focuses on two equally critical components: building a capable and committed team that will propel the company towards commercialisation and creating highly-skilled, well-paid jobs for the people of Te Tairawhiti.

Tipu Matoro Ki Te Ao – Careers Series Resources

The Rua Bioscience Careers Series ‘Tipu Matoro Ki Te Ao’ showcases the career pathways into the medicinal cannabis and associated industries. It takes an in-depth look at some of the people at Rua and the diverse educational and career pathways they’ve taken.

The project supported by Trust Tairawhiti includes a Career guide booklet and a video which aim to inspire local people to look at career options within our industry, to imagine themselves in the roles portrayed and to seek education and experience in these high value professions.

Being one of very few pharmaceutical companies in the country, with its roots firmly planted here in Te Tairawhiti, the series is proof that anything is possible when the kaupapa is right.

We invite you to freely share these resources to anyone interested in learning more about career pathways into our company and industry.

Take a look at who we are and what we do, with our career guide and video.
