Construction Site Teams & Apprentices - Skills Shortage Solutions
๐ง The construction industry has a skills problem โ but are we asking the right people how to solve it? ๐ง
Over the coming weeks, Iโll be joining a podcast conversation with a major Tier 1 national employer alongside a construction sector-wide alliance that connects different parts of the industry through independent research, collaboration, and best practice.
The focus of the discussion is simple, but critical:
How do we tackle the growing skills shortage in construction?
We hear the statistics all the time:
๐ Skills gaps
๐ Ageing workforce
๐ Recruitment challenges
๐ Retention issues
But behind every headline are real experiences from people working across the sector every day, and those are the voices I want to bring into the conversation.
๐ฌ Iโd genuinely like to hear from:
Site teams
Apprentices & learners
Employers & recruiters
Colleges & training providers
Supply chain professionals
Industry leaders
Anyone passionate about the future of construction
Whatโs your perspective?
โ What is the industry getting wrong?
โ Whatโs actually working well?
โ How do we attract and retain the next generation?
โ Are we doing enough to modernise perceptions of construction careers?
โ What challenges are you personally experiencing?
Whether your views are positive, critical, or somewhere in between .... they matter.
Please add your thoughts in the comments or message me directly if youโd prefer to contribute privately. Iโd love to bring as many real industry perspectives as possible into the discussion.
The future workforce of construction affects all of us. Letโs talk about it.
