Engineering the South East and South East Regional Skills Forum recently launched our newly published engineering skills and training needs report. This report highlights the huge and critical shortage of skilled staff in the region for the engineering sector but also gives great insight into where the future opportunities lie.

The report was chad input from 109 companies and sought to determine the skills capacity of the region’s engineering employers across manufacturing and construction. Amongst the findings were that 48% of engineering-related companies in the south east had a major shortage of necessary skills among talent with top upskilling needs identified in automation, digital transformation and building information modelling (BIM).
