Data story Career Progression

About 400,000 people work in the Construction and Infrastructure sectors in New Zealand.

But each year, nearly a quarter of those people leave their industry or the construction and infrastructure sectors entirely.

Many of these people have few or no qualifications.

What do you see as the key reasons that people leave? What might the sector do to retain more people in their industry?

This story is from our Workforce Journey Indicator dashboard, designed to display data about how individuals navigate the construction and infrastructure workforce.
We’ve developed the data stories that pose questions that could shape the future of talent development and vocational education.
