Regional Workforce Plans

In July 2022, the Nelson Tasman RSLG released Te Mahere Ohumahi ā-Rohe o Te Tauihu o Te Waka-a-Māui: The Nelson Tasman Regional Workforce Plan. The plan sets out the regional vision, challenges and opportunities, regional actions and national recommendations for current and future workforce skills and development in the Nelson Tasman region.

Guided by work already underway in the region, such as the Te Tauihu Intergenerational Strategy, this first plan focuses on older workers and rangatahi and the construction and aquaculture industries. The plan also highlights other industries and demographic groups of importance to the region for focus in future iterations of the plan. The plan is a collaborative document on which the RSLG looks forward to further engaging with the Nelson Tasman region.
