New resource launched for employers

We’re proud to announce the launch of a new webpage, Industry LEO: Supporting Pacific Talent in Construction and Infrastructure, tailored specifically for construction and infrastructure employers looking to strengthen diversity, inclusion, and business success.

Pacific peoples are a vital part of New Zealand’s construction and infrastructure workforce, and growing Pacific representation in workplaces is not only good for business but essential for meeting future industry demand. Through this new resource, we aim to help employers attract, support, and retain Pacific talent and enterprises.

At the Industry LEO webpage, you’ll find:

• Key insights from the Pacific Peoples Workforce Development Plan and the voices of Pacific peoples in the sector.
• Practical information on where and how you can better support Pacific peoples’ success in construction and infrastructure.
• Inspiring videos highlighting Pacific journeys and the importance of culture in workplaces.
• Access to data dashboards, including Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) learner success statistics and workforce trends via the Workforce Information Platform (WiP.org.nz).
• Useful reports and resources to help you build a more inclusive and thriving workforce.

This resource is part of our commitment to translating the Pacific Workforce Development Plan’s goals into real, lasting change — helping to unlock the rich potential of our young and growing Pacific population.
