Economic Growth Action Plan

Targeting Jobs and Growth with the Manitoba Works Plan

 

In December 2018, Manitoba launched a new Economic Growth Action Plan. It envisions a nimble approach to economic development and a collaborative relationship between government and the private sector.

The initial phase of the plan established the structures to support a Team Manitoba approach to economic growth, and has launched strategies for tourism, culture, agri-food industries, and skills, talent and knowledge.

With its goal of creating 40,000 jobs over four years, Manitoba Works is tightly tied to the Economic Growth Action PlanManitoba Works aims to build on our strengths to grow trade, investment and job creation, and to ensure that policies in areas like permitting, infrastructure investment and regulatory reform align with the Economic Growth Action Plan.

Team Manitoba will work to advance key Manitoba Works priorities, including:

  • attracting new investment to the province
  • accelerating talent acquisition and business expansion by fast-tracking the development of Manitoba's skills, knowledge and talent strategy; and
  • expanding export markets with a targeted new trade strategy.
