Hauraki Coromandel Labour Market Strategy 2010 - 2013

The first Hauraki Coromandel Labour Market Strategy was endorsed in 2007 by the Labour Market Forum. The strategy has since been reviewed for the 2010—2013 period, with updated information to reflect the current labour market environment.

The New Zealand labour market has undergone a significant transformation over the past decade. In 2007, the labour market faced challenges such as skill shortages at the national, regional, and local labour market levels, of which hindered economic transformation and prosperity. Now in 2010, the labour market has evolved into an area of uncertainty, where labour reduction or redundancy is frequent, following the effects of the economic recession of 2009.

The Hauraki Coromandel sub-region faces labour market challenges similar to those experienced at a national level, but there are also unique characteristics of the region that create opportunities for growth, and also pose some difficulties. The intent of this strategy is to identify the issues impacting on the labour market in Hauraki Coromandel and to develop solutions that are timely, effective, and encourage collaborative action across
stakeholders in the region. A well functioning labour market in the region will be a significant contributor to social wellbeing and economic success for all.

This strategy has been developed to help facilitate solutions that are timely and effective, as well as encourage collaborative action across stakeholders in the region. A well functioning labour market will be a significant contributor to social wellbeing and economic success for all.
