He Kākano (a seed) was a $2 million collaboration between MYD and The King's Trust Aotearoa New Zealand (KTANZ) to provide seed funding, mentoring support, access to shared support services, and entrepreneurial skill development to young people (aged 17 – 30 years).

The Te Kete Aronui external report and suite of resources was developed in collaboration with KTANZ. The Te Kete Aronui ecomaps, educational worksheets, case studies, and measurement frameworks are designed to give young people a set of tools to support their development and learning journey, taking the step up towards applying for He Kākano, and into the business world beyond.
