Māori Internship Programme (Nov 2025)

He kōrero mō mātou  

About us   

Here at EY, you’ll have the chance to build a truly exceptional experience. In Aotearoa, we operate from three main locations, Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), Pōneke (Wellington), and Ōtautahi (Christchurch), serving clients throughout the country, Oceania, and globally.  

Our Aotearoa EY business includes EY Tahi, a stand-alone, kaupapa Māori, member firm of EY global – a ‘firm within a firm’. Established in 2014 to compliment EY and provide the ‘best of both worlds’ in terms of global strength, and indigenous creativity and application, as part of the programme you may have the opportunity to support mahi being done by our EY Tahi team should this be of interest.   

Te wheako inati o EY. Māu e hanga. The exceptional EY experience. It's yours to build.  

Kei a koe te mana I The choice is yours  

We offer more than just an internship. We offer a launchpad for personal and professional growth. You'll foster a strong network of colleagues, mentors, and leaders who are committed to supporting you on your EY journey and beyond. From the start, you’ll receive dedicated training and coaching, work hands-on with real clients, and immerse yourself in EY’s vibrant culture. The best bit? If we love your mahi, we may offer you a permanent position after you graduate. To learn more about our business and life at EY, visit our website.

We’re currently looking for students from a range of degrees. You can find out more about our service lines and teams, as well as where your studies might best match, by visiting our careers pages on our website.
