Internship Opportunities for Māori and Pacific Students
ARG Internship Programmes
The ARG programmes are multi-agency initiatives to build capability in data, analytics and research across government.
Critical insights gained from analysing data and doing research inform the way government makes decisions, from policy changes to operational and financial decisions.
Data, research and analytics related work helps to inform which strategies and initiatives have the best chance of creating positive change in our communities; Where we need roads, schools and hospitals, measuring environmental progress, quality of life and helping us understand how families and whanau are doing. It is used by government, local councils, Māori and business to help make decisions so that Aotearoa’s economy, people and communities can thrive.
We need people who represent the diversity of the communities we serve.
The ARG programme is committed to raising awareness of data, analytics and research career opportunities within the public sector with Māori and Pacific tauira.
Tēnā uru mai ki a mātou – please join with us.
Bringing this to life with a prior project example…
The ARG programme is committed to raising awareness of data, analytics and research career opportunities within the public sector with Māori and Pacific tauira and aims to offer projects tailored towards their communities.
For example, an intern at the Ministry of Social Development recently completed a project which involved identifying and producing client information tailored to a specific iwi.
This project worked to deepen the Ministry’s relationship with the iwi and produce mutually beneficial data that could be used to achieve government targets around benefits and housing.
The intern also set up a system that showcased what data could be provided to other iwi around Aotearoa. This process was designed to encourage transparency, support and whakawhanaungatanga through providing iwi specific data.
