Strategy aimed at population increase
Government is to unveil its latest plans aimed at reversing a shortage of skilled workers next month.
The Department for Enterprise's 'Locate' strategy will outline plans to grow the workforce, with a focus on negotiating immigration challenges posed by Brexit.
Speaking at a gathering of business people in Douglas, the department's Deputy Chief Executive, Carl Hawker, said the Manx economy was in a 'strong position' to deal with potential shocks.
He wants industry to continue to look to European and international markets:
New Year Honours for six Isle of Man residents
Island enjoyed 'reasonable' summer despite no record-breaking temperatures
Head of Ambulance Service 'really privileged' to receive New Year Honour
Chief Fire Officer 'overwhelmed' after receiving New Year Honour
