construction industry

run to ensure they have the right people in key roles
•  Why we need a more joined up approach to engage schools
when looking to bring the
    future workforce in

environment is like
•  Creating a clearer path both into the industry and being
able to retrain within the industry

Key Takeaways:

 •  I began my career as a primary school
teacher, which gave me a real interest in how we
    can best equip our young people for the careers of
tomorrow. – Chris
 •  We’re encouraging the existing workforce for the full
project lifecycle of sustainable
    buildings to upskill, to reskill with those green
skills that we’ve identified in the research,
    and also to attract a large cohort of diverse new
entrants from untapped pools of talent,
    particularly looking at women, more young people,
people from ethnic minority
    backgrounds into the build environment. – Chris
 •  One of the first trends that I came across was how
much our productivity improved during
    covid. – Hannah
 •  We are the second highest paying sector in the UK. So
if you think about people having
    lifelong careers and retraining, you could
potentially retrain and come into construction,
    but still be as well paid or better paid than you
might be in another sector. – Hannah
 •  I think how we tap into those pools of talent, we
need to look at developing a more
    flexible approach to work as well, which in practice
is probably offering hybrid work. –
    Chris
 •  We’re going to need people who can work to those
requirements, who can understand
    what that means for the construction process. So if
you like it’s not a hard sell. It’s a sort 
    of requirement to be able to function as a business
going forward. So that’s why for us, it’s
    so important. – Hannah
