The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has today (June 17) launched its Construction Workforce Outlook 2025–29, a report which sets out the workforce needs of the UK construction sector over the next five years.
Previously named the Construction Skills Network report, the Workforce Outlook reflects a broader understanding of the sector’s needs.
The outlook shows that there are opportunities ahead, however it highlights that for construction to have the workforce it needs in the future, investment in training that supports people into jobs is crucial.
CITB has been producing workforce outlooks since 2006/2007 to provide evidence and insights into the number of workers needed to meet forecasted demand.
It is still the only report of this type for the construction industry and is compiled using a range of both backward and forward looking data.
The Construction Workforce Outlook 2025-29 report can be viewed and downloaded on their website.
