for Maori, Pasifika and women
As the tech sector struggles with skill shortages, a new programme aims to help more Māori, Pasifika and women find work in the industry.
Qrious, Spark’s AI and data analytics team, has unveiled a talent pathway that includes $1 million of scholarships for people from minority communities.
Only 4% of the technology workforce is Māori, under 3% are Pasifika and 27% are women, according to research.
Qrious spokesman Evan Wilson said he is looking for people from diverse backgrounds who might not have considered a career in tech to join the company.
