About the session

Skills for the future

With the need to minimise road occupation when undertaking road and street works in the context of more people, more traffic, more construction but no increase in road capacity, innovation in the way we work is key. What skills do we need for the future as technology becomes ever more important, and how can we attract people to join the road and street works sector?
