📣 New Report: New Tech Horizons and the Pasifika Workforce

We're pleased to share the release of New Tech Horizons and the Pasifika Workforce, a new report exploring the impacts of technological change on the Pasifika workforce in Aotearoa.

The future of work is changing rapidly. Artificial intelligence, automation, and emerging technologies are reshaping industries, jobs, and skills requirements at a pace we have not seen before.

Yet many Pasifika workers remain concentrated in industries that are more vulnerable to technological disruption, creating both challenges and opportunities for our communities.

This report explores the sources of future technologically driven vulnerability, resilience, and opportunity for the Pasifika workforce, and identifies areas where action is needed to help ensure Pasifika are not only prepared for the future, but positioned to help shape it.

Fa'afetai tele lava and thank you to the many whānau, community stakeholders, employers, workforce intermediaries, technology experts, learning partners, and contributors who generously shared their knowledge, experiences, and insights with Uptempo and this research over the course of the programme.

We hope this research contributes to the growing conversation about how we build a workforce that is resilient and equipped to succeed in a changing world.
