Connect local jobs and local workers &
ensure local workforce and business eco-system has the right capacity

For sustainability of our employment and enterprise outcomes, we must ensure we create the conditions for a thriving and enabling business environment, in particular for local whānau who have the willingness and the passion to start a business but, who may not necessarily have the experience. We also have to create pathways for our younger generations to see enterprise is a viable option for them, through being inspired by others who they can relate to and are already doing it well. 

Following on from the highly successful creation of iwi-owned company Ruapehu Recruitment, a localised Ruapehu business eco-system will work to encourage locally owned businesses to increase economic development providing for a flourishing local workforce is being created. Sustainable connection of local workers with local jobs, career and business opportunities is a key focus.

​

We are also focusing on contenting to grow a business culture which creates sustainable enterprises that take into consideration the social and environmental goals and realities of our unique place; encourage a living wage, lead by example in relation to the eco foot print of their operations and ensure social good in the structures and functions of the businesses and employment arrangements.
