The EIT Induction Process
Your induction is vital in helping you to settle into your new role and assist you in becoming connected to the EIT community. It will give you the information you need to assist in your understanding of our goals and strategies and it will introduce you to important services, systems, policies and procedures.
The EIT induction programme is delivered in different ways which are detailed below:
Pōwhiri
Each semester a pōwhiri for both new staff and students is held and this will be your introduction to the EIT marae, Te Ara O Tāwhaki.
Te Tomokanga – Online Induction Course
This online induction course should ideally be completed within the first six months of appointment. Your manager is aware of the importance of allocating time for you to complete this course as it will help you to better understand both the EIT environment and your own job. It can be accessed at any point during your employment at EIT so feel free to revisit the programme in the future. You will need to have your own EIT login and enrolment key before you can enrol into this course.
Orientation Seminar for New Staff
In this seminar new staff will have the opportunity to meet the EIT Executive Transitional Lead and have an opportunity to raise any questions or comments you may have. The contributions and perspectives of new staff are highly valued and you are strongly encouraged to attend the first available seminar.
Your Individual Faculty or Section Induction
Your manager will play a key role in your induction by providing an introduction to your work area and the requirements of the position. In particular your manager or nominated Kaiārahi (guide) will help to organize your welcome and introductory tour, ensure that your physical resources are available and then will supervise your progress through the programme.

Herea te Rā
Herea te Rā is the EIT Māori Capability Development Framework. Each new staff member is required to self-assess against Herea te Rā using the online self-assessment tool. After completing this assessment you will automatically be sent a goal setting sheet and a poster of your assessed capabilities.
Please use the goals setting sheet to set goals in alignment with your Herea te Rā self assessment results. These goals will then be discussed with your Manager in your initial induction conversations, and then every year as part of your performance review.
It is expected that your Manager will see progression each year in the 5 areas of Herea te Rā / Māori Cultural Capability.
To complete the self-assessment offsite you will need to log into Microsoft forms using your EIT username and password.
