In a statement, Adrian Smith, senior director of operations at Randstad UK said: “Increasingly, people want to work in engineering. Despite this, the nation’s talent shortage means that even the most attractive organisations still have a job to do to find the people they need. The most pressing task for engineering firms is to remove barriers to entry for willing talent by offering reskilling and upskilling programmes. We also need to do more to attract more women into STEM subjects at both school and university for future talent pooling.”
