Labour Market Information
Understanding Regional Labour Markets
Developing the toolkit
A key aim of the project has been to develop and use labour market knowledge to help Ngati Awa achieve its development objectives. This goal will require Ngati Awa to become familiar with the information tools shown in Table 2 with support and assistance from the Department of Labour. We expect to update and continue developing this suite of tools. In particular, the 2006 Census material (which will be progressively released from 6 December 2006) will offer many new analytical opportunities. For the tools to remain useful and relevant they need to be updated regularly. These tools have been developed using Excel spreadsheet applications. Excel is suitable and widely accepted software for use at least at the initial phase of the project.
Table 2 shows a summary of the proposed suite of tools.
