Apparently there are more vacancies than job seekers, so there is a skills shortage, according to the Daily bleeding Mail.
So......I did a minimum of research to see if George Osborne had made an announcement (he may have done of course) but all roads lead back to Adzuna an online employment agency.

What a clever bit of advertising.....me thinks.

Adzuna ? Who ?

Adzuna ? Who ?
That's what happens when you cut places at further education colleges and out up the fees (where do yoiu go tontin as an electiricain, plumber brick layer anbd if you have no money who pays - and who wants a job in an industry where you are the first to get laid off every time there is recession. An HGV licence costs around £1800 try paying that when you are unemployed.

This takes "the rise of the agencies" to new levels. A clever stratagem, making sure that anyone using various routes will see the agency advert.
At this rate, full-time employees won't be able to make a proper payday because the company employing all these "instant workers" is struggling with the agency wage bill! Agents on £7.50 an hour are missing out on most of the cash that the company pays to hire agents. A company often pays £20 plus per hour, per agent, so the agency makes it's bloated living peddling dead-end jobs to pressurised people desperate to escape unemployment before this arrogant, elitist government can trump up a pretext for stopping their money!
Sure, there are always a small minority that don't want to work, but if the country was being run efficiently this would not matter too much, as the biggest majority of people by far DO wish to work, and they are the ones who pay the tax.

As I work in Employment I get to see first hand what is happening.
First of all, the article is primarily focusing on the higher skiled end of the market - construction in particular. As previously mentioned, much of the problem here is down to the cost of training. Normally the only training available is On The Job, where it's funded by the Employer. However, especially in these times of Austerity, fewer employers are prepared to pay out for such things when they can take on someone who is already fully qualified, with their training having been paid for by someone else, which is quite understandable from a business point of view. Then there is the onset result of Immigration from EU Open Door Policy. No one can deny that those from the Eastern Block countries are really hard workers & usually really good at what they do. They usually have the qualifications required, or higher & are prepared to work for Minimum Wage (or less). This has the result in British worker thnking twice about whether it's really worth the expense of investing in specialist training when they can get the same sort of pay flipping burgers at Macdonalds. This, of course results in a home grown Skills Shortage.
Fortunately there are still some very reputable companies who take a pro-active approach to taking on more apprentices & trainees than they are legally required to do & giving them quality training, as it also benefits themselves in the long term. When they treat their employees well it results in loyalty & quality workmanship.
