According
to the CPA (Construction Products Association), the Construction sector is
predicted further growth of 23% by 2018.
These statistics are reinforced by CIBT (Construction Industry and Training Board)
who predict as many as as 200,000 new jobs being created over the next 5 years.
What
does this mean for the sector and how does this translate for recruitment?
Figures suggest an increased confidence in the sector with companies now
required to upskill their existing workforce and attract new talented recruits
capable of adopting new technologies in order for businesses to maintain their
competitive advantage in the workplace.
One
reported problem however is the lack of interest expressed by young talent in a
career in construction. This is a
problem as economic growth depends on
finding this talent to fuel it.
The
challenge for any company in a volatile environment is attracting and
appointing the right candidates quickly to strengthen the leadership team and
bridge the skills shortage to meet modern methods of construction technologies.
