This Marlborough Regional Workforce Outlook 2023 is intended to provide the TEC, Workforce Development Councils (WDCs), tertiary education organisations (TEOs), our other partners, and the Marlborough community with an overview of workforce and skills needs in the region.
In this document the Marlborough Regional Skills Leadership Group (RSLG) covers the focus sectors identified in Te Mahere Ahumahi ā-Rohe o Te Tauihu o Te Waka-a-Māui | Marlborough Regional Workforce Plan (RWP), and emerging sectors where growth is anticipated and a workforce and skills response is required. It identifies workforce and skills supply and demand gaps and local insights on careers information.
The catalyst for this mahi was the TEC’s request for advice to inform the content of Supplementary Plan Guidance in June 2023 and 2024 investment in tertiary education delivery. The RSLG hopes the document will be read more broadly, particularly by WDCs and TEOs.
In the interest of providing concise and targeted advice, this Marlborough Regional Workforce Outlook 2023 does not replicate the content from the RWP. Please refer to the RWP for broader context and additional detail.

The RSLG has engaged with all 6 WDCs, TEOs (including Te Pūkenga and its various business units), Food and Fibre Centre of Vocational Excellence, iwi, industry bodies, employers, learners, central government organisations, the Marlborough District Council, schools, NGOs and other regional stakeholders to provide a qualitative evidence base to supplement the limited quantitative data.
