A talented, highly skilled workforce is critical in underpinning our economy, by making the Western Bay of Plenty the business destination of choice for companies that produce high value products and services.  Companies have always sought to attract the best talent: the difference today is that instead of bringing that talent to their existing locations, companies are setting up facilities where the talent already exists.  Talent is the “biggest magnet” for globalised innovation.

Western Bay @ Work is a month long event highlighting exciting career opportunities for people at all stages of their working life. This year there is a particular focus on the importance of innovation in the work place.  Check out our events page to find out what’s on.
