We’re fast approaching Q4 of 2023, so here’s a few things to look out for in the market as we close out the year.
In recent years, the job market has largely favoured candidates, prompting employers to enhance their offerings to attract top talent. While many employers have proactively invested in training and development programs, sponsored relevant qualifications, and collaborated closely with the education sector, there's still a short-term challenge in finding candidates with the precise skills needed, especially in the FM, property, and infrastructure sectors.
The PFI sector provides unique opportunities for SPVs, local authorities, FM service providers and other key stakeholder companies to give young people longstanding careers. It is crucial for PFI to become an attractive sector to the next generation of professionals in order to build an expert workforce that will handle many transition periods and handovers in the coming decades, and help innovate the next phase of PPPs in the UK.
