BuildSkills is pleased to present our 2024 Workforce Plan: Shaping the Future of the Built Environment.   The Plan outlines the number of workers we need to meet the nation’s ambition for the built environment over the coming decade and provides a framework to help industry and government to navigate this challenging future.   We’ve looked at several ‘megatrends’ which are increasing the demand for labour, including the Net Zero transition and national housing shortages, and have considered factors that influence the availability of labour.   As a JSC, BuildSkills works in a tripartite arrangement with industry, unions and government to provide a framework for tackling current and emerging workforce challenges.   Our Plan contains 18 strategic actions to address workforce challenges and strengthen the pipeline of skilled workers for the built environment industry sectors, with early actions underway.   The full Plan, a Summary Report and a new interactive data dashboard that includes national and state-based data sets around workforce balance, labour flows and workforce supply gap projections for the next 10 years can all be found here: https://lnkd.in/gs8zj9qA
