Regional Workforce Plan
The Canterbury RSLG released its first Regional Workforce Plan (RWP) on 14 July 2022. The plan sets out aspirations, priorities and actions for current and future workforce skills development in the region. The Regional Workforce Plan has an initial focus on rangatahi as a key labour market demographic and on digital technology, manufacturing, and healthcare and social assistance as key sectors.
It mainly focuses on regional solutions to regional problems but also suggests actions at a central government level where regional solutions may not be possible or the challenge or opportunity is a national one. It will be refreshed annually.
