Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The fair highlights a growing talent shortage, noting that only two people enter the skilled trades for every five who retire. Local development projects, such as new schools, hospitals, and housing developments in the area, rely heavily on skilled workers like electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians.
