This report aims to detail the progress that has been made to date, both by the Special Projects Unit as well as by the SIPs themselves, under each of the Focus Areas. Establishing what skills will be in short supply for the roll-out of the National Infrastructure Plan was a first priority. A great deal of work was undertaken to determine an answer to the question: 'What skills are needed?' After providing the context in the first chapter, the following two chapters outline the methodology used to generate a list of occupations in demand for the SIPs. Chapter Four outlines the way in which the services of 'communities of expert practitioners' were drawn in, as Occupational Teams, to provide advice on what should be done to address the scarcity identified. Chapters Six to Ten contain the reports of the Occupational Teams. They detail the challenges being faced in relation to each of the listed scarce occupations and propose remedies to address the challenges. The closing chapters look at ways in which these recommendations can be implemented.
