A strategic approach to addressing the problem will support current projects and power large scale developments such as Great British Energy.<\/p>\n<p>EngineeringUK Chief Executive, Hilary Leevers commented, \u201cAs the new government has rightly recognised, we need to nurture a greater pool of talent in engineering and technology including more apprenticeship opportunities for young people, to meet current demand and to help our economy to thrive and to achieve our net zero goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been asking for a national engineering and technology workforce strategy for some time to streamline coherent action and replace the current approach of different areas developing their own solutions in isolation, and sometimes, effectively, in competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn order to address skills shortages in the future, the workforce strategy needs to link to a comprehensive education and skills plan underpinned by enhanced careers advice in schools and an urgent solution to current STEM teacher shortages.\u202f We will be doing what we can to support the new government in taking action to turbo charge the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about EngineeringUK\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineeringuk.com\/research-policy\/policy-asks-for-the-next-government\/\"><strong>policy priorities for the new government<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"back\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engineeringuk.com\/news-views\/\">&lt;
