Skills Action
Welcome to Skills Action, a free e-newsletter from the Department of Labour.
Here, we bring you updates about the Skills Action Plan and other initiatives and information on lifting skills.
What is the Skills Action Plan? It's a whole-of-government strategy to lift the capacity of New Zealand's workforce so we can better meet the demands of the future. It's about: better matching people's skills to job opportunities helping people make well-informed decisions about taking part in, or providing, education and training.
