Integrated Workforce and Resource Planning for the Hume Region
Hume RDA is partnering with the Hume Workforce Development Committee to develop an integrated workforce and resource planning capability within the region. The project will develop a Regional Workforce Planning Framework and agreed approach to implementation of workforce planning and development within the Hume region. The Framework will strengthen the region’s capacity to sustain the required workforce to meet current and projected demand in line with the Hume Strategy for Sustainable Communities 2010-2020. The project will build on the recently Department of Business and Innovation-funded Industry Workforce Development Strategy developed for the north east of the region.
The project will be delivered in three stages, with expected outcomes as follows:
- Stage 1: An environment scan that will detail current and projected trends for business growth and/or decline in the region. Additionally, it will provide the Project Management Team with direction on how best to approach stage two of the project and in particular consultation with business and other key stakeholders.
- Stage 2: Development of a regional approach to workforce planning with key stakeholders. Engagement of a regional team of champions that will drive the project and support broader engagement with industry. Creation of methods, systems and processes for use in undertaking workforce planning and development.
- Stage 3: Production of a draft Regional Workforce Planning Framework that details an agreed step by step approach to implementation of regional workforce planning with the Hume region for five priority sectors including Transport and Logistics, Agriculture, Manufacturing, Community and Health and ICT.
The project will be completed prior to 30 June 2012.
