Skills Hub - You Said, We Did

Over the last 18 months we have conducted a number of extensive surveys to help us better understand the skills related issues you currently face within the industry. This research has helped inform the services we offer and identify any gaps.

To no surprise, one of the key challenges identified is the chronic skills shortage which is affecting the ability of members and wider industry to recruit and nurture new talent into the sector. With this in mind, we have been working hard to develop a new School Engagement and Engineering Discovery Programme in partnership with Built Environment Skills in Schools (BESS). This 12 week programme aims to train businesses operating within our industry to better engage the next generation of skilled workers.

We have also set up a new 'Outreach Team', who will be attending a variety of careers fairs taking place across the country, representing building engineering services and showcasing the opportunities available in our industry. Engaging and attracting the next generation.
