Construction Industry Opportunities

 

UK construction industry needs 348,000 new recruits by 2010

The Construction Skills Network states that the UK construction industry will continue to experience strong growth, with construction output expected to rise by 12.7% by 2010. By identifying exactly how many new recruits in each trade will be needed over the next five years to meet additional demand and account for industry leavers, the Construction Skills Network also provides the industry with the information needed to ensure that every construction programme can be resourced and delivered.

In an industry that already required 88,000 new recruits every year, Construction Sector Skills Council has warned that managing workflow will be vital if the industry is to deliver on all demands.  The 33,500 predicted jobs include 24,000 trade and craft roles, with the London Olympics generating £2.5 billion in construction output over the next seven years.
