- a FIDIC State of the World series webinar
In the dynamic realm of global infrastructure, the scarcity of essential skills and the anticipation of future needs pose a significant challenge. FIDIC, as the global voice of consulting engineers, is committed to addressing this in our forthcoming State of the World Report and webinar.
Our report explores skills, upskilling and capacity building in the infrastructure sector. We focus on present skills shortages and gaps while also addressing the question of which skills will be indispensable in 5, 10 and 15 years.
As the world transitions to net-zero emissions, we confront the vital issue of where this workforce resource will come from. We delve into the competencies that today's infrastructure organizations need to cultivate and envision the engineer of tomorrow, equipped with the skills necessary for sustainability, innovation and progress.
Our launch webinar unites global experts to discuss and exchange knowledge on evolving infrastructure skills and capacity building. The report showcases case studies, policy recommendations and a roadmap for nurturing the workforce. Aligned with FIDIC's dedication to sustainable engineering, this effort fortifies the infrastructure industry to overcome challenges and secure a resilient future.
