Civil construction: A requirement for a robust and reliable training pipeline
Dr. James Allan Jones
Shortages of skilled labour are a persistent and recurring problem in the New Zealand construction industry, posing constraints in periods of growth for decades.
In this report, Dr. James Allan Jones delves into the fundamentals of the problem and explores conceptual solutions.
Four key urgent actions are recommended:
