The MOU will be signed by Paul James, Deputy Chief Executive at the Department of Internal Affairs on behalf of the Office of Ethnic Affairs, and NZIM’s Chief Executive, Kevin Gaunt.
Ethnic Affairs Minister, Judith Collins will witness the signing.
By 2021 a quarter of the workforce is expected to have been born overseas.

“Making the most of the advantages that ethnically diverse staff can offer has been shown to benefit companies financially,” says Ben White, acting Director of the Office of Ethnic Affairs.

“But to unlock these advantages managers and staff often need help to upskill and that’s where this agreement comes in, and will boost training opportunities for the workplace.”.

Areas of focus of the MOU include:
•Enhancing leadership capability in New Zealand businesses to better manage ethnic diversity in the workplace

•Promoting the benefits of ethnic diversity in the workplace

•Assisting international students and potential entrepreneurs to integrate into New Zealand’s business environment.
