Te Huka Whai Pāka | Our Regional Stakeholders and Partners

The development of Regional Workforce Plans relies on information from our valued stakeholders and partners. Regional Workforce Plans feed into a highly connected structure – regionally and nationally.  Strong collaboration is essential to ensure Murihiku’s labour market needs are met, both now and in the future.

Te Kāhui Whakahaere i kā Pūkeka ā-rohe o Murihiku (RSLG) acknowledge and sincerely thank all local, regional and national stakeholders and partners who have contributed to the development and delivery of our 2022 Regional Workforce Plan and subsequent RWP 2023 Update.
