Priority Networks of the Kaiāwhina Workforce Plan 2020-2025

While the Kaiāwhina Workforce Taskforce membership provides strategic stewardship to the total Plan the strength of the Priority Networks is the provision of deep sector and consumer knowledge, focused expertise and an orientation towards the action needed to progress the goals of each priority.

The Kaiāwhina Workforce Plan has five Priorities which are at the core of the work programme.  To gain broad sector engagement and input to each of the priorities a network of people and organisations, committed to progressing the kaupapa of the Plan, are connected in an interest-based collaborative for each priority.  Network meetings are held virtually to gain guidance and advice on the priority goals and actions with members bringing their knowledge, skills, connections, influence, and passion to the work programme.

Networks are adaptive and flexible, with additional people welcomed to the meetings for specific topics in order to ensure that the voices of a diverse number of stakeholders are brought to the table.

The five priorities of the Plan are:

1. Building cultural capability
2. Connecting Kaiāwhina
3. Accelerating new ways of working and eco-system thinking
4. Creating workforce knowledge and data
5. Supplying and developing the workforce

The Kaiāwhina Workforce Plan Programme Team coordinate and support the priority networks.
