The CLF's Skills working group would like to hear from stakeholders who wish to change the dialogue and establish better co-ordination on building the workforce for the construction sector in Scotland.

One of the biggest challenges the sector faces is ensuring it can attract, train, and retain the skilled and competent workforce it needs to (a) replace individuals leaving the industry and (b) meet the expected growth in demand.

Failing to take the necessary steps now will prevent Scotland from creating the infrastructure and built environment it needs to help the country thrive.

The Construction Leadership Forum will work to establish a Mission that will support the sector create the conditions that will bring about the necessary changes to address current and future workforce shortages.

This challenge cannot be addressed by any single group or organisation and the responsibility sits collectively with employers, industry stakeholders and public sector partners.

We believe that an informal, collective and collaborative focus is critical. Please take part in this short survey which will take around 5 minutes to complete.

The survey will close on 31 July 2025.

Many thanks

The CLF Comms Team
