The Home Building Federation (HBF) has revealed that more than 100,000 new jobs were created by the house building sector during 2015, taking the number of positions supported by the industry in England to 667,000.
The Government has been warned that any efforts to solve the housing crisis will fail unless steps are taken to tackle the construction sector’s skills shortage.
Nearly 100,000 new construction workers and engineers need to be recruited and trained by 2020 in order to successfully deliver major infrastructure projects, according to the National Infrastructure Plan for Skills.
The number of construction jobs in the UK is likely to continue to grow in the coming months as employers remain confident about their prospects, a new industry survey has found.
Significant investment in skills is required if the construction sector is to reach its growth potential in the coming years, a key industry body has warned.
The skills shortage has become so severe that two-thirds of small and medium-sized construction firms have had to turn down work due to difficulties finding the right workers.
