Incorporating te ao Māori
Incorporating te ao Māori
We too, as Māori, have whakapapa in the Policy and Government world. Our progression as a people has been both hindered and accelerated by the policies and laws of past governments. We are, inherently, political. Therefore, Tau Mai recognises the importance of a Māori presence in this kaupapa.
Let us guide you on a journey to recruit and support Māori talent in the Policy and Government sector, enhancing your understanding of the kaupapa pertaining to Māori while finding you the perfect candidate.
