Analysis
Into The Shortage Of UK Construction Skills And Recruitment
Alternatives (2008) Ref: build0005 The
purpose of this study was to review the UK construction skills shortage
and explore possible factors which have led to the shortage occurring.
The dissertation then focused on reviewing and ascertaining the
opinions of stakeholders to the feasibility of mature adults being an
alternative recruitment option, and establishing the views to a sample
of the recommendations within the recent Leitch report The work
commenced with an in-depth review of training policy within the UK
construction industry. The attention then focused on an overview of the
skill shortage and the problems that currently face the North-West
construction industry. The literature review then focused on possible
factors that have been cited as being a direct cause of the skills
shortage, and concludes with a review of mature adults within the UK
construction industry The literature review enabled the author to
establish themes and formulate questions, which were then posed to a
sample of stakeholders in the form of one to one semi structured
interviews. The main findings of the research project conclude that the
current skill shortage can be attributed to employers, central
Government, training providers and the employees themselves. The
dissertation concludes with a series of recommendations, which the
author feels will have both short and long term strategic benefits for
the UK construction industry.
