Manukura is PwC’s dedicated network of kaimahi Māori and non-Māori who comprise one of the largest advisory teams for Māori in Aotearoa. This creates a unique value proposition in that it combines technical excellence within a te ao Māori context. Manukura operates under the principle of being a relationship builder; a connector and an interpreter that bridges the gap between te ao Māori and mainstream institutions.
The strength of Manukura is that it is deeply woven through PwC Aotearoa in all parts of the business and offices. This creates an environment where Māori new joiners can see themselves reflected, supported and empowered from day one.
PwC and Manukura recognise that Māori landowner’s have huge potential to contribute increasingly to the food and fibre sector to benefit Māori. Governance of assets, potential land-use and the business model of land-trusts, channels to market, capability building of rangatahi and ensuring decisions are made with a long-term horizon are key to this economy’s success.
PwC would like to help build workforce capability in this sector by supporting rangatahi to study and develop skills in the broader agricultural sector. This scholarship has been created to support the growth of the skills base in this sector.
Who we're looking for
