The construction sector, along with many others, is currently experiencing challenges to labour supply. As a result of Covid-19 many projects are behind schedule with new projects continuing to come on stream, imposing pressures on the sector. Also, the requirements of Project 2040, Housing for All and the recently announced Retrofit programme, increase the demand for competent people. In essence the resources and capability required to deliver on these ambitious targets is a challenge to the sector. It is estimated that an additional 112,000 people are required to join the industry over the next 10 years.
