INSZoom Immigration Conference 2016 - MAC (Migration Advisory Council) UKINSZoom
This document summarizes the key recommendations from a UK report on immigration controls. The Migration Advisory Committee recommended tighter restrictions on intra-company transfers from outside the EU, including: requiring two years of company experience before transfers; more documentation justifying transfers; distinguishing between internal transfers and third-party contracting; and increasing fees including a £1,000 annual skills charge and raising minimum salaries. These recommendations aim to reduce net migration but could make UK businesses less competitive by increasing costs for transferring skilled workers from countries like India. The impact will depend on how Brexit affects future immigration policy between the UK and EU.

Sri Lanka faces shortages of skilled labor that is hampering growth in key industries like tourism, construction, and technology. The shortage is due to younger workers being unwilling to take jobs in industries with unstable wages, poor working conditions, and a mismatch between the skills needed and those available. This labor shortage increases costs for employers and can cause delays and lower quality work. Possible solutions include retaining older workers longer, improving recruitment and benefits to attract workers, and better aligning education programs with the skills needed for the country's economic goals.

HOW TO BECOME AN ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL IN NEW ZEALANDNivedita Khasria
To become an engineering professional, one typically completes a four-year bachelor's degree in engineering and gains 5-6 years of work experience. This allows them to demonstrate competence and become a Chartered Professional Engineer. Alternatives include completing an engineering technology or technician diploma and gaining experience over many years. There is high demand for engineering professionals in New Zealand, with expected job growth and salaries increasing with experience from $60,000 for graduates to over $180,000 for managers.
The document is a salary survey from Design & Construct that provides insights into projected employment growth and salary expectations in the construction, engineering, and architecture industries in Australia through 2020. It finds that most regions in Australia are expected to see employment growth between 8-19% in these industries. In particular, it projects strong growth for managers up 9.2%, professionals up 14.5%, and technicians & trade workers up 5.5%. The survey also notes steady growth in the property, infrastructure, and construction sectors is driving continued high demand for senior professionals in construction, civil engineering, and architecture.
City limits: How the UK’s industrial strategy can share living standards gainsResolutionFoundation
The document examines how the UK's industrial strategy can help spread gains in living standards. It finds that while advanced industries like creative/digital sectors are clustered in the Southeast where pay is higher, they have created jobs in other parts of the economy. Specifically, for every 10 new jobs in advanced industries, 6 new service sector jobs are created. However, these new jobs have lowered earnings for workers with below-average education by £85. The impact also differs by area. While Cambridge saw additional local service jobs, Oxford saw almost none. So an industrial strategy needs policies by leaders like Metro Mayors to maximize job creation in other sectors, as well as support lower-paying but high-employment industries.
Engineering companies in the UK will need 1.86 million people with engineering skills between 2010-2020, requiring universities and colleges to double the number of engineering graduates and apprentices. While the number of girls studying physics and boys has increased, more needs to be done to attract young people, especially girls, to STEM subjects. Careers advice should highlight the variety of engineering careers and their value to employers to address the shortfall in engineers.
The document discusses the potential impacts of Brexit on the UK construction industry's labour force and materials supply. It notes that the industry workforce is aging and projected to shrink significantly by 2025. Non-UK EU workers currently make up a large portion of the younger construction workforce. The UK construction industry has identified availability of labour and skilled workers, and uncertainty over trading arrangements as the biggest risks of Brexit. The survey of contractors found that over half currently find hiring skilled tradespeople difficult. While most contractors have not been warned of potential Brexit impacts by materials suppliers, cost increases and supply shortages were identified as possible issues, particularly for wood imports. Contractor Connection's workforce has a more UK-focused profile compared to the overall industry.
TRAINING FOR THE DISABLED IN SKILLS FOR SUSTAINABLErichard boyd
This proposal details a training program for people with disabilities in sustainable building skills to address both under-employment of disabled people and skills gaps in low-carbon construction. The program would develop and deliver 8 training courses to at least 110 trainees per year over 3 years, covering areas like construction, design, and facilities management. It aims to research the potential for disabled people to fill zero-carbon skills gaps and estimates high net benefits of over £400,000 per successful participant by reducing disability support costs. The goals are to improve employment opportunities for disabled people in growing sustainable construction sectors and provide additional capacity for meeting zero-carbon building targets.

Courses That Will Get You Settled in the United KingdomAHZ Associates
The document discusses UK university courses that lead to employment opportunities and potential residency in the UK under its points-based migration system. It outlines courses in computer science and engineering, biomedical sciences and healthcare, and geology and nuclear sciences. These fields are in high demand and include occupations on the UK shortage list, helping students meet the 70 points required for residency. Computer science offers growing fields like data science and cybersecurity. Engineering needs include civil, electrical, and mechanical specializations. Biomedical sciences includes nursing, bioinformatics, and pharmacology. Geology addresses climate change needs and nuclear energy requires more graduates.
The document discusses the impact of technology on higher level skills needs in the UK construction industry, with a focus on offsite construction. It finds that offsite construction requires new skills and adaptation of existing skills to work with modern methods and technologies. Key job roles in offsite construction include designers, engineers, project managers and tradespeople with skills in areas like planning, multi-skilling, and collaboration. Challenges to the growth of offsite construction include a lack of training provision and industry collaboration, while opportunities include improved productivity, quality and sustainability. The implications are for closer industry-academia links, stimulating demand, multi-skilled training, and careers advice on offsite roles.
The document provides information about the Level 6 Graduate Diploma in Engineering offered by City & Guilds, including the qualification structure, assessment methods, and units.

the original content of the 1973 TPS manual1 was written by
the staff2 of Toyota Motor Corp. (OMCD - Operations Management Consulting Division.
By 1970, Toyota had a fairly stable production system internally and they made a decision to
assist suppliers by sharing their knowledge and skills. To do this, Toyota created a special
internal improvement group called Production Research Division (later renamed Operations
Management Consulting Division – OMCD)
his 1973 manual was also used as course materials by Ohno and his team – the Japanese

forecast to grow at an annual average rate of 1.3%.
• This represents a downgrade from previous years
forecast of a 1.7% annual average gain between
2016 and 2020 period, and lags behind the
expected growth of 1.7% annually at the national
level.
• Employment is expected to grow at an average of
0.4% a year in the until 2021, also marginally
trailing the UK average of 0.6%.

• Painters and decorators
• Specialist building operatives
• Bricklayers
• Wood trades and interior fit-out
• Building envelope specialists
• Plumbing and HVAC Trades

11. Self-
employment
opportunities
in construction
• The construction sector is unusual because a high
proportion of people working in the sector are self-
employed - many jobs in the sector are contracts to
work on specific projects
• Self-employed jobs in the construction sector
account for 37% of all jobs, almost three times the
proportion in the whole economy (13%)
12. Requirement
for Skilled
Workers
• As the construction industry growing's, enquiries and orders
are increasing for subcontractors and their workforces
• The National Specialist Contractors Council and Federation
of Master Builders (FMB) have reported, that businesses
within the industry, experienced difficulty in recruiting
skilled workers.
• It is quoted, that applicants who are applying for
construction jobs are not skilled enough. This has resulted in
just over 1 in 4 firms having to turn work down.
• The retirement of skilled and experienced workers is
increasing, on average just under 25% of the workforce is
over the age of 50, furthermore 15% of those being in their
sixties.
13. Brexit
• Growing concern throughout the construction
industry that more and more skilled tradespeople
from the EU - who are currently working for
construction companies in the UK will leave the
country due to immigration issues or fears and long
term uncertainly.
• Approximately 10% of the workforce in the UK
construction industry is comprised of migrants, 7%
of whom are EU nationals; that’s more than the
percentage of EU nationals working in all other
industries in the UK.
• With approximately 165,000 construction jobs
currently being filled by EU nationals, the industry
simply cannot afford to lose this contingent.
14. Safety in
Construction
• CSCS cards provide proof that individuals working
on construction sites have the appropriate training
and qualifications for the job they do on site.
• By ensuring the workforce are appropriately
qualified the card plays its part in improving
standards and safety on UK construction sites.
• Holding a CSCS card is not a legislative
requirement.
• It is entirely up to the principal contractor or client
whether workers are required to hold a card before
they are allowed on site.
• However, most principal contractors and major
house builders require construction workers on
their sites to hold a valid card.
15. Construction
Safety Scheme:
Partner Cards
• CSCS works closely with a number of other card
schemes which display the CSCS logo. These are
the Partner Card schemes.
• Partner card schemes represent the very specialist
sectors in construction such as plant, demolition
and scaffolding.
• Partner Card schemes are based on the same
standards as CSCS, requiring cardholders to have a
recognised qualification and pass a health and
safety test.
