Hot off the press! New International Construction Report highlights implications of skills gaps for UKs economic growth. NOCN Group have released a new report that analyses the current global construction skills landscape and the implications of skills gaps for the UK’s economic growth. It raises questions for the new Government’s approach to setting up Skills England, as well as investment in 1.5 million new homes and Net-Zero infrastructure projects. The report sets out that the CITB estimates that the UK will need an extra 250,000 workers by 2030 and the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) forecasts that the total could be 280,000 and that this will require a nearly 15% increase in the construction industry’s workforce.
