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.    

Through our coaching and training programmes, you’ll develop the skills you need to stay relevant today and, in the future, – all while building a network of colleagues, mentors, and leaders who will be on the journey with you at EY and beyond.
