The CSN output we use is the skills forecast from the UK Blueprint for Construction. We identified from the skills forecast the following two areas as key skills needs in terms of annual recruitment requirement to the industry:

• Carpentry and Joinery
• Electrical Installation

This helped us to plan growth in these two areas.  We have also increased the number of Electrical Installation apprentices and the number of Site Carpentry apprentices this year.
