  • The UK’s Forgotten Youth: training and employment opportunities in construction

    CIOB / Worshipful Company of Constructors

    The Construction Industry is facing an ever-widening skills gap. It has an increasing ageing
    workforce and is struggling to attract young people into careers within it.

    Over the years the Industry has researched ways it can attract the brightest and smartest people into
    professional roles, but what about the UK’s forgotten youth - the circa one million young
    people aged 16-24 who are not in education, employment or training?

    The Construction Industry is facing an ever-widening skills gap. It has an increasing ageing
    workforce and is struggling to attract young people into careers within it.

    Over the years the Industry has researched ways it can attract the brightest and smartest people into
    professional roles, but what about the UK’s forgotten youth - the circa one million young
    people aged 16-24 who are not in education, employment or training?

    In 2018, the UK reported that nearly 1 million young people were not in education, employment of
    training. Evidence suggests these young people face greater difficulties securing meaningful
    training and employment opportunities resulting in a likelihood of downward social economic mobility and an increased risk of social inequality.

    This research examines reasons these young people are not securing meaningful training
    and employment opportunities in the construction industry and challenges the industry to
    address these issues.

    The findings demonstrate that there is an urgent need for the industry to create and
    communicate quality career pathways and provide opportunities for meaningful progression
    and upward social mobility. It also demonstrates that young people offer viable talent to
    enhance Industry skills.

    A strategic approach must be taken now to provide young people with the opportunity to
    develop fulfilling and prosperous careers at all levels within the industry, regardless of their
    background or academic level.
