There are some vocational and technical sectors with a shortage of people starting out with the required skills. Some of these shortages are on a national level, some on a regional level. But both are worrying trends - can there be a bright future for our businesses without the right standard of candidates to take over jobs like yours?
Pass on Your Skills is an initiative that, over the next three years, will encourage workers to pass on their skills to people starting out in these shortage areas.
Currently, Pass on Your Skills is focusing on the health and social care and engineering sector. If you work in either of these areas, you can find out more about how you can pass on your skills, by clicking on the links below.
Additional research is currently underway to identify six further industries with skills shortages. We'll keep you posted.
