The Engineering and Technology Board gives a new report that the UK must do more to pull in people into graduate engineer jobs, and other highly skilled placements in manufacturing and industry.
According to this report, over the next seven years engineering sector must find over half a million people to fill engineering jobs UK for graduates, post graduates and learners. This report also says that the number of new engineers coming into the workplace at the moment is around just 40,000 a year, even then, many of those lack the higher level skills that are needed to fill graduate engineering jobs.
This report emphasizes that it is possible for UK to gets some balance back in the economy condition by using its strong base in manufacturing industry. But, it also informs that there is a 30% fall in lecturers of engineering, technology and manufacturing and also 17% turn down in the rate of students coming from colleges into production and manufacturing degrees at university. This shortage is a serious threat impacting on successful industries including aerospace, manufacturing and construction.
Paul Jackson, the chief executive of the Engineering and Technology board, said that: "Manufacturing is incredibly important to the UK, and engineering important to manufacturing. The question is whether we are doing enough soon enough."
Yet we’ve got a range of graduate engineering job vacancies on the Peopletek’s website, but it’s encouraging to hear this report urging that we should do more to improve engineering recruitment process to increase the number of skilled and graduate engineer jobs.
