The newly released Transport Research and Innovation Portal (TRIP) Policy Brochure presents EU policy on transport employment and highlights the contribution of research in supporting policy development and implementation in meeting the challenges of retaining skilled workers and encouraging more and highly skilled people to join the transport workforce. The transport sector accounts for 4.5% of the total workforce in the European Union and represents 4.6% of the gross domestic product (GDP). As a whole within the economy, employment in the transport sector is facing the economic and societal challenges of a growing shortage of skilled workers in an increasingly competitive global environment.

The 2015-18 Affordable Homes Programme aims to increase the supply of new affordable homes in England by contributing to the delivery of 165,000 new homes by March 2018. In a change from the previous programme all of the available funding will not be allocated from the outset. Instead, the Homes and Communities Agency will aim to allocate up to 75%, with the remainder being made available via ongoing market engagement. This is designed to allow bidders the opportunity to bid for the remaining funding for development opportunities as these arise during the programme, where those can deliver within the programme timescales. The publication of the Prospectus signals the start of the bid round, which will close at noon on 30 April 2014.
