Skills
“A well educated and skilled and adaptable workforce is an essential ingredient in producing a successful economy in the 21st century.
We must also ensure that the specific skills which are needed in our potentially world class sectors are available in NZ. Skill shortages can be a major barrier to firms expanding.”

Demand Side
• Employer Expectations including pre - employment qualifications and tacit skills
• SME’s ability to attract and recruit employees
• Information Flows between Industry/ Employers and training/education providers and their intermediary agencies (employment agencies)
• Understanding current and future labour demand especially for sectors struggling either because of conditions or growth

Research: Mismatch (Professor Paul Spoonley, Project Leader - LMDRP)
Local Issues that Impact (Employer Research)
• Increasing numbers educated without being responsive to employers or aggregate regional labour market demand – misalignment
• Concern about appropriateness of current training and education
• Concern about generic/tacit skills of job seekers including ability to communicate, safety and health, work ethic, computer literacy, personal attributes such as tidy appearance
