The posting

Nau mai, haere mai | Start your career with Westpac

Are you an ambitious rangatahi Māori ready to take your first steps into the working world and explore where a career in banking could take you?

Awhi Tū is Westpac’s Rangatahi Māori Banking Cadet Programme, creating an opportunity for rangatahi Māori to gain practical experience, grow their skills and build a future in banking.

You don’t need previous banking experience. We’re are looking for ambition, curiosity and potential, and rangatahi who are ready to learn, challenge themselves and bring their strengths, experiences and perspectives with them.

Awhi Tū - Creating the conditions to grow

The name Awhi Tū is inspired by our Te Kākano framework and the metaphor of the harakeke/flax.

The awhi are the leaves that sit alongside and protect the rito, the new shoot at the centre of the plant. They nurture the rito as it grows strong enough to stand, tū, in its own right and, in time, support others.

That thinking sits at the heart of Awhi Tū. Throughout the programme, you will be surrounded by experiences, development, relationships and support that help you grow what you bring, build your skills and take the next steps towards your future.

  • Connect with Māori colleagues and leaders across Westpac
  • Build relationships and grow your professional network

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
