National Workforce Management Agency
Create a national agency to coordinate workforce planning, skills development, fair recruitment and employment services across the public sector and national development programmes. The agency supports employers and workers; it does not replace labour courts, independent unions, professional regulators or employers' legal responsibilities.
Forecast skills and staffing needs in healthcare, education, construction, transport, energy, water, agriculture, technology and public safety using transparent labour-market data.
Operate public employment services, publish vacancies, match applicants to jobs and apprenticeships, and help people re-enter work without political favouritism.
Coordinate vocational training, apprenticeships, recognised qualifications, reskilling and partnerships with universities, technical colleges and employers.
Maintain workforce plans and transparent recruitment systems for public agencies, including staffing standards, payroll coordination and succession planning.
Promote lawful wages, safe workplaces, equal opportunity, non-discrimination, worker representation and compliance with labour protections. Provide confidential complaint and referral channels.
Publish anonymised employment, vacancy, training and skills-gap statistics. Protect personal data and prohibit political screening or unauthorised employee surveillance.
Recruitment should be merit-based, accessible and open to appeal. Workers must retain freedom of association, collective bargaining rights and access to independent labour dispute resolution. Roll out with regional employment offices, a secure jobs portal and audited training programmes.
