A recent BBC article has shed light on the significant rise in demand for construction workers across the UK. To support the government’s Warm Homes Plan aimed at retrofitting social and private homes to cut energy bills and improve efficiency, around 140,000 additional workers will be needed every year for the next five years.
Alongside this, CITB has projected that a further 61,000 new workers will be required annually to help deliver on the government’s ambition of building 1.5 million new homes by 2030.
The need is clear and immediate, and opportunities are everywhere. If you’ve ever considered a career in construction, now more than ever is the right time to take that step.
