Education and training are essential to provide employees starting their career, or who are already working in tourism and hospitality, with the relevant skills and knowledge to succeed.

Construction is both a significant employer in the Nelson Tasman economy, and a significant contributor to it. In 2019 it was the fourth-largest contributor to our region’s GDP at $401 million (Infometrics – Structure of Nelson-Tasman’s Economy 2021) and provided 8.8% of filled jobs (Infometrics – Filled jobs by ANZSIC level 1 industry, 2021). We also know that many people in our regional construction industry are self-employed.
