How to resolve recruitment challenges in the construction industry

Finding motivated, talented staff in the construction sector can be one of the biggest challenges facing employers today. Apprenticeships remain one of the best ways to get new talent into the industry as they provide young staff with the training required for many roles in the construction industry. Inspire ATA offers a range of apprenticeships for the construction industry to help tackle recruitment challenges.

Construction industry recruitment challenges

Finding new staff for the construction sector is hard due to an aging workforce, fewer young people entering trades, and post-Brexit immigration limits.

Over 35% of construction workers are over the age of 50, while less than 20% are under 30. Hundreds of thousands of experienced builders and project managers are reaching retirement age, taking vital knowledge with them. It’s evident that more focus needs to be put on making the industry inviting for younger staff.
