Checkatrade has unveiled the UK Trade Skills Index Report 2024, shedding light on a critical shortfall in skilled tradespeople that threatens to undermine the UK’s housing and net zero ambitions.
The report, produced in conjunction with Capital Economics, highlights an urgent need for 1.3 million new skilled workers and 350,000 apprentices over the next decade to meet Government targets and the ever-growing demands on the construction, home improvement and repair industries.
