Abstract
We carry out an annual #SkillsSurvey of engineering employers in the UK. In 2021 we focused on the current skills challenges employers are facing, identify barriers to building the supply of the needed skills and the skills that will be needed in the future. Though the majority of respondents are positive about their economic prospects, the #Skillsgap is still a concern with more than half reporting #shortages in skills within their own workforces. #Engineering employers are calling for help from Government and the #education sector to offer better guidance and funded #training for young people. How can we build resilience and prepare for the future skills needed? Comment below to let us know.
