The Bay of Plenty Regional Skills Leadership Group identifies and supports better ways of meeting future skills and workforce needs in the region.
The Bay of Plenty Regional Skills Leadership Group (RSLG) is one of 15 RSLGs set up to identify and support better ways of meeting future skills and workforce needs in our regions and cities.
RSLGs are part of a joined-up approach to labour market planning that sees our workforce, education and immigration systems working together to better meet the differing skills needs across the country. Find out more about the RSLG kaupapa:

The Bay of Plenty RSLG released its first Regional Workforce plan in July 2022. This plan builds on regional aspirations, priorities and actions for current and future workforce. It has specific focus areas including primary industry, the education system, digital technology skills and infrastructure, climate change impacts and workforce resilience. The plan was developed alongside regional stakeholders from across the Bay of Plenty and was built on a ‘Mā te Māori, Mō te Māori’ foundation to reflect the importance of partnership under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and to ensure equitable outcomes for all our people in the region.
It will mainly focus on regional solutions to regional problems but will also suggest actions at a central government level where regional solutions may not be possible or the challenge or opportunity is a national one.
