Te Tai Poutini West Coast RSLG released its first Regional Workforce Plan (RWP) in July 2022 – He Mahere mo te Ohu Mahi a-Rohe. The plan sets out the region’s long-term vision, priorities and actions for current and future workforce skills development. It aims to ensure everyone has access to the skills, education and training they need to find sustainable employment in the region, and that businesses have access to the people they need to thrive.
Developed in consultation with the local community, the plan identifies the region’s labour market challenges and opportunities and some data insights. The RWP supporting document provides more detailed information and data that underpins the development of the plan, including current and forecast labour market information, demographics and education figures.
The plan identifies 5 key focus areas that directly link to the action plan. Several actions have been prioritised for implementation over the 2022/2023 year, with the other actions categorised into years 2-3 and year 4 onwards.
RSLGs are the eyes and ears on the ground in each region when it comes to labour market planning. Their regular insights reports are based on qualitative intel from stakeholders and partners about the local labour market.
