The biggest challenges employers face

Skills Shortages
 

With experienced workers retiring and fewer young people entering the trades, businesses face a growing skills gap that puts productivity and project delivery at risk.

Recruitment 
 

Finding reliable, work-ready candidates for technical roles is tough. Too often, employers hire staff who lack the right mindset or training, leading to disruption, cost and high turnover.

Training 

 

Without the right training, new staff can create safety risks and cause compliance issues. Employers need apprentices who understand how to work safely from day one.
