CECE is determined to address the skills gap by developing solutions together with its partners
BRUSSELS – On 22nd November CECE gathered key stakeholders to jointly tackle the skills issue in the construction sector during the open debate held in the European Parliament.
The event was organized in the framework of the European Commission’s ‘European Vocational Skills Week 2017’ and was hosted by MEP Brando Benifei, Member of the Employment Committee.
“CECE is determined to address the skills gap by providing a comprehensive review of the situation and developing solutions together with its partners”, said Riccardo Viaggi, CECE Secretary General. Demographic change, too few women on jobsites, lack of engineers, fierce competition, little interest in STEM disciplines and growing demand for digital skills are the biggest challenges in the construction and equipment sectors. Therefore, CECE together with its partners FIEC, the Construction Contractors Association and ERA, the European Rental Association believes in working together across the full construction value chain towards the betterment of construction industry’s image to attract young talents to the sector, in order to close the skills gap and to tackle the digitization issue of the construction industry.
