Construction Skills Mission Board is a ‘once-in-a-generation opportunity’

Katrina Dowding, UK president and CEO of Skanska 

“Construction is a key driver for economic growth. Ensuring we have the right skills to support the diverse range of projects we deliver, that the industry is attractive and provides clear pathways from training to employment are key to meeting the government’s ambitions. 

“Delivery of new or improved roads, railways, energy networks and commercial buildings all require a stable workforce. The Construction Skills Mission Board has the opportunity to unlock significant potential as well as helping ensure that industry can invest in the right skills to deliver the 10-year infrastructure plan.”
