Answer

Schedule 22 in the Project Agreement outlines requirements for participation. Clause 6 mandates that Northway provide the following Employment and Economic Opportunities for Māori applicants: eight or more full-time apprenticeship positions during works provisioning, two or more full time apprenticeship positions (per year) in key engineering trades, and two or more summer internship opportunities.
