A report from the Institute of Public Policy Research (IPPR) finds that by 2022 there is expected to be an additional 3.6 million job vacancies in mid-skilled occupations that require Level 3 vocational qualifications, such as an advanced Apprenticeship.
The research lists the 10 careers that it says will be most in-demand by 2022, see below, with nine of these being attainable via vocational qualifications.
In 2022, the top three in-demand occupations will be in health and care, the report predicts, because of an ageing population which will require nearly 2.75 million more health and care workers.
At the same time, there will be nearly 500,000 jobs in skilled construction trades, ranging from bricklayers to geothermal pump installers.
