The wine industry skills survey is part of the most comprehensive and future-focused workforce initiative for New Zealand’s wine industry.

The survey aims to capture all the roles and skills across all businesses in the industry and is a crucial foundation to forecast the wine industry’s future workforce.

All businesses across the sector and wine growing regions are being encouraged to take part. Find out more here: https://www.marlboroughwinenz.com/skills-survey

Preparing our industry for the future

  • New Zealand’s wine sector and workforce have grown rapidly in the past two decades. Businesses have evolved, changing demand in roles and skills.

  • Understanding of the current wine sector workforce is based on old assumptions. Detailed and up to date business insight is needed.

  • The labour market is changing, the demographic of New Zealand’s workforce will look quite different 10 years from today. We need to prepare for this.

  • Globally we are in a skills and labour shortage.

  • The world of work is changing, and a paradigm shift towards skills-based organisations is underway – are you ready?

NZ’s wine sector and businesses need be positioned to compete globally for skills, talent and capability.

Deep insights for businesses to plan their workforce

  • The skills survey will provide a robust evidence base to plan and position the industry strongly in a global skills and labour shortage - benefiting all businesses.

  • Gain understanding of the sector’s people, skills, and capability and how your business stacks up.

  • Develop knowledge on the gaps and opportunities for your business so you can build the capability and capacity needed for your future.

  • Access insights into future the skills needed in the sector & how these apply to your business.

  • High return on investment - valuable information and insights that individual business could not resource or capture on their own

A key output of the project will be tailored and targeted to businesses to support in their workforce planning.
