No metrics have been gathered by the Government to ascertain whether the campaign has been successful or not. Says it all really

It’s hard to get enough trades and engineers to build all the housing we need let alone the infrastructure projects that the government are planning. I don’t blame young people for not taking up roles in construction as every crash seems to fire 60% of the workforce. If 60,000 workers were laid off from a tech or pharmaceutical company it would be all over the news and there would be uproar, but sacking construction workers in a down turn is fine. The market has to be stable for people to be willing and interested in taking up these positions and stop carpet bombing the industry. Unfortunately our Governments can’t plan and deliver anything based on past experiences and performances.

We need a abendschule style system tbh. That would let more people get into trades without crippling them financially.

200k over a year for a bit of targeted advertising, seems ok!

The article says in the past year, there was a difference of around an extra 18,000 people calculated to be working in construction between 2024 and 2025.
Some back of the napkins says that an average worker pays around €13000 annually in income tax alone. That’s around 30 workers.
It’s a small amount in the broader scheme of things and makes it look like rage bait.
