class="content-element"> <h2>About the Strategy</h2><p>The Employment Strategy guides work programmes across the employment, education and training system to ensure government initiatives and programmes contribute to a well-functioning labour market. Initiatives from across the government contribute to achieving the Strategy’s vision that all New Zealanders can participate in employment with opportunities to fulfil their needs and aspirations.</p><p>The Strategy’s objectives are to:</p><ul> <li>Build a skilled workforce so workers have the skills they need to achieve their career aspirations</li> <li>Support thriving industries and regions so businesses can create more jobs and people can work where they choose</li> <li>Support workplaces to respond to the changing world of work and to provide healthy, safe and productive jobs with opportunities for workers to progress</li> <li>Promote inclusive work so everyone has opportunities to participate in meaningful and fulfilling work.</li> </ul><p>The Strategy was updated in 2022. Minor changes were made to ensure a more enduring framework with greater emphasis on implementation and monitoring.</p><p>Each year, the Minister for Social Development and Employment reports to Cabinet on the progress being made under the Employment Strategy. These reports are at the end of this page.</p> </div> </div> <div class="element mbie__elements__featuredlinkelement" id="e57950"> <div class="featured-link"> <div class="featured-link-content "> <p><a href="/business-and-employment/employment-and-skills/employment-strategy/aotearoa-new-zealands-employment-strategy">Read more about Aotearoa New Zealand’s Employment Strategy</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="element mbie__elements__contentelement" id="e3628"> <div class="content-element"> <h2>Employment Action Plans</h2><p>A key focus of the Strategy is more inclusive employment outcomes.
