Original consultation

Consultation description

This consultation considers the barriers and opportunities to developing skills and careers across the transport sector.

It sets out 5 pillars that form the basis for the work the Department for Transport (DfT) wants to carry out in collaboration with external partners, including the transport industry, academia and the third sector. These pillars are:

boosting diversity, inclusion and social mobility
improving training and employment
promoting careers in transport
preparing for future skills
building evidence and evaluating progress

Informed by public response to this paper, the 5 pillars will set the direction for the work of an industry-led taskforce.

The taskforce and DfT will develop a programme to support the sector in accessing skilled workers as we build back better from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic to create a transport system fit for the future.
