Shaping the Future of Construction – Join the Conversation

Posted: 10th March 2025

The UK construction industry is at a crossroads. With 25% of the workforce retiring by 2030, we face a critical skills gap. The Construction Industry Council 2050 Group is committed to ensuring that we not only bridge this gap but also create a thriving, diverse, and future-ready workforce.

Lets Work Together

We’re inviting professionals, educators, policymakers and employers to meet us on March 24th, and explore how we can collaborate across the industry.

We want to:

  • Connect with leaders and emerging talent
  • Share insights on skills, sustainability, and digital innovation
  • Collaborate on solutions to attract and retain future talent
  • Highlight career pathways, including requalification and cross-industry transitions.

How We’re Taking Action

  • Exploring the return of ‘Speed-Mentoring’ for Careers—a proven way to connect young professionals with industry leaders.
  • Providing speaking and networking opportunities at sector wide events.

Get Involved

Let’s work together to make construction a career of choice for the next generation.
