The success of the construction jobs and engineering jobs sector is crucial to nearly every aspect of the economy. Over 2.6 million people currently work in the industry and they are all providing the vital infrastructure that is required to keep the country running. It doesn't matter whether there is a hard Brexit or a soft Brexit, because it is all dependent on the amount of migrants that return home. So what options are available for the UK to use, so that the employment gaps can be filled if no foreign workers are available?

First you need to define the career path that will help to produce any operatives or even craftsmen. You also need to work out what professionals are required and what type of management will be needed as well. From this point, you can then work out what qualifications are required and what social mobility is needed as well. There is only a limited amount of the new standards that are in use, but the fact of the matter is that we will need to utilise more ways of working as well. New materials will be required and it will also be designed to boost the productivity as well. Before this can happen, employers will have to try and amend the qualifications that they have in order to respond to the immediate needs.

The government has also published a plan for the T-Levels which are at level 3. This will come in from the year 2020 and it will happen until 2024. Of course, there is no saying whether or not this will help with Brexit and there is no saying whether or not this will affect the workforce, but it is certainly a great way to boost the economy.
