Regional Workforce Plan
The Manawatū-Whanganui RSLG released its first Regional Workforce Plan on 8 July 2022. This plan builds on regional aspirations and priorities, and has a specific focus on the Kaiāwhina Health Workforce and School Transitions.
The Manawatū-Whanganui RSLG released its Regional Workforce Plan Refresh in 2023. The plan sets out labour market themes which were identified through our first RWP and includes actions for current and future workforce skills development. The Plan focuses on the Freight Logistics and Warehousing Sector and the Seasonal Elements for the Horticulture Sector.
The plan has been developed alongside regional stakeholders across all 7 districts of Manawatū-Whanganui for the benefit of our people: for our kaimahi, our rangatahi, our employers, our whānau, and our mokopuna.
Turning these outcomes into a reality requires more than words on a page – it requires meaningful action. The Manawatū-Whanganui RSLG is committed to seeing through their identified actions and stands by their recommendations to different parts of government.
