Understanding the current skills position and future skills needs of the people within our sector is central to achieving successful and sustainable growth not just for our sector, but for our whole economy. If we can’t resource our services with the right people, with the right skills, at the right time, then the risks are both commercial and environmental. We have an opportunity to be the sector that powers the circular economy, influencing design and manufacturing decisions, at the same time as maximising resource efficiency and material reuse.
