BY Liesl Venter

The infrastructure sector will have to find innovative and creative ways to address the skills shortage they face if they do not want to jeopardise crucial projects. This was the finding of the Infrastructure Sector Survey 2009 carried out by Johannesburg-based executive research firm, Landelahni Business Leaders. While employment in the sector has doubled from 4% to 8% and the number of engineers graduating from universities has soared, the shortage of key skills in the industry remains worrying. Says Sandra Burmeister, Landelahni CEO: “Globally research shows that skills shortages are the biggest constraint for construction growth, with project and contract managers, tradesmen and engineers cited as the scarcest of all skills.
