Skills Shortage At Breaking Point

One in ten contractors and suppliers say skills shortage is critically impacting budgets, according to  Scape’s new 'Sustainability in the Supply Chain' report. Nearly 85% of public sector construction managers, and 58% of private sector contractors and suppliers cite the current skills shortage as negatively impacting the quality of their workmanship, as well as one in ten citing it as critically impacting their ability to keep to budget. The report, which surveyed over 150 contractors, subcontractors and senior managers at public sector organisations highlighted the stark realities of a skills shortage that’s at “breaking point”.
