"Te Mahere Whai Mahi Māori - the Māori Employment Action Plan is another tool in our toolbox and supports our Government's Employment Strategy," Carmel Sepuloni said.
"Te Whai Mahi underlines our commitment to supporting kaupapa Māori and working kanohi ki te kanohi and in partnership with whānau, hapū, iwi and wider hapori to improve employment outcomes for Māori.

"Te Whai Mahi is for Māori from all backgrounds and walks of life. Whether you're an aspiring wāhine Māori entrepreneur, a tāngata whaikaha with a desire to get into leadership roles or an older Māori wanting to upskill, this plan will support you to do just that," Carmel Sepuloni said.
