Date submitted: 9/08/23

The Skyline Skills Recommendations Report highlights the critical need for greater access to a skilled, diverse workforce which is trained and qualified to construct, retrofit, and manage the commercial buildings of tomorrow. 

Central London’s skyline is constantly growing, and we must ensure our workforce is equipped with the necessary skills and qualifications to build a sustainable skyline. Our Evidence Base Report sheds light on the skills gaps and opportunities that exist in creating greener and more sustainable skylines.

This involves reaching out to young people, employers and employees. It also highlights that things are changing for the better with the help of new technologies, materials, and the circular economy are all leading to a radical shift in how the industry designs and builds commercial properties.

Read our recommendations which serve as a call to action for industry and help us:

  • Create better access to training and qualifications for the built environment workforce
  • Foster a workforce culture that is committed to driving sustainability, lifelong learning and diversity
  • Work with senior leaders and government to set ambitious green skills targets and legislation to meet the skills shortages in the industry
