Regional Workforce Plan
The Waikato RSLG released its first Regional Workforce Plan (RWP) on 6 July 2022. The plan sets out aspirations, priorities and actions for current and future workforce skills development in the region.
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.
In July 2023 the Waikato RSLG released its 2023 Regional Workforce Plan update and refresh. This updated includes a progress report on the plans action’s and progress to date as well as new areas of focus. The 2023 RWP builds on the 2022 workforce plan.
