In this report we outline evidence regarding current shortages of graduate engineers, highlighting the challenge of forecasting numerical demand for graduate engineers in the UK.
To ensure engineering and manufacturing play a greater role in the UK economy, it needs a future supply of engineers with the right skills, in the right place and at the right time. Key factors affecting future supply could include changes in Higher Education funding and the increased demand for those with engineering skills from non-engineering employers. Skill shortage is a national issue that requires coordinated solutions. A long-term partnership is needed between the government, employers and relevant support organisations with each understanding and playing its role.
