Bridging the skills gap

An ongoing skills gap in London and the South East has already seen some business sectors struggle to recruit a fully skilled workforce. (The number of cases where employers have been unable to fill a vacancy due to skills shortages in the capital has more than doubled since 2011.) Now, with Government funding, the University of Greenwich is helping to address these local shortages.

As one of the largest education providers in London and Kent, the university is in an excellent position to help businesses take employees to the next level. We have a history of creating successful partnerships with a broad spectrum of employers and our industry-experienced, qualified academics are ready to provide the skills and knowledge to help upskill or reskill your staff.

In the construction industry, more than 80 per cent of employers say skills shortages are a chronic problem while 59 per cent believe that the sector’s workforce will not have the required skills to cater for the industry’s future needs and developments.
