Construction Skills Network in Practice

Having access to this range of labour market intelligence and trend insight allows industry, government, regional agencies and key stakeholders to: 

• Identify the sectors which are likely to be the strongest drivers of work output growth in each nation and region. Examples: Association for Consultancy & Engineering, Scottish Funding Council.
• Pinpoint the associated, specific skills that will be needed year by year. Example: Glasgow Caledonian University.
• Highlight trends across the industry such as national and regional shifts in demand. Examples: ISG Regions Ltd, CECA. 
• Plan ahead and address the skills needs of a traditionally mobile workforce. Examples: Cross River Partnership, Preston College.
• Prepare for an increase in demand for certain skills at certain times. Example: Oldham & Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council.
• Understand the levels of new entrants required into the workforce. Understand the qualifications required to ensure a qualified and competent workforce is available where and when required. Examples: Newport Construction Initiative, Lincoln College.
