Migration and UK Construction June 2023

After the referendum decision to leave the European Union (EU), CITB worked with industry to develop an evidence base, looking at how and why construction was using migrant workers, the key occupations they were working in and how employers planned to adapt to the new migration regime.

Together with the Construction Leadership Council (CLC), CITB has worked closely with the Government and related-bodies such as the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to develop a shared understanding of the industry’s skill needs and how it is adapting to the Points-Based System (PBS).

This is the sixth report and the first since the end of the Pandemic and the introduction of the PBS in January 2021 when the UK formally left the EU.
