Skills shortage on the way, says CIC
17/03/2010
A report fromt he CIC says that, when the upturn comes, we will have a serious skills shortage to deal with.
The report (downloadable here - http://www.cic.org.uk/newsevents/ImpactRecessionResearchExecutiveSummary.pdf) says that employment of professionals in the sector was down hugely in 2010, and that there won't be enough of them to deliver projects in 2011.
The Evening Standard picked the report up - see their article here - http://www.cic.org.uk/newsevents/ES-160310.pdf
There will be a competitive advantage in the event of an upturn for those companies able to maintain capacity by keeping their people employed through the remainder of the downturn.
