Offsite manufacturing workforce forecast

The project aims to forecast the size of the workforce required with offsite manufacturing skills, by quarter, by region, across the next 5-10 years. 

The issue:

Due to the continuously evolving nature of technology, the educational requirement to train the workforce continuously evolves too. The industry requires the ability to identify when the workforce requires technology-specific training, how large that trained workforce needs to be, and what technologies need to be trained. 

Intended outcomes:

  • Define and characterise offsite manufacturing occupations. 

  • Model the supply and demand for offsite manufacturing labour. 

  • Forecast the size of the workforce required of offsite manufacturing occupations, by quarter, by region, across the next 5-10 years. This forecast will be made available through the Workforce Information Platform website (www.wip.org.nz).
