INDUSTRY CONSULTATION OPEN - 2025 MANUFACTURING WORKFORCE PLAN
Have your say
The Manufacturing Industry Skills Alliance (Manufacturing Alliance) is developing the 2025 Manufacturing Workforce Plan—a practical, future-focused roadmap that delivers actionable solutions to equip industry with the future capacity, skills and workforce it needs to thrive.
We are holding a series of industry focus groups in March for manufacturers to share their insights on emerging skill needs, workforce challenges, and how workforce needs are changing in response to national priorities like clean energy, digital transformation, and advanced manufacturing.
Your input will directly influence the 2025 Manufacturing Workforce Plan, ensuring it delivers practical, industry-led solutions that drive innovation and strengthen industry’s capacity to adapt to emerging trends.
