Many sectors of Civil Engineering are currently experiencing skills shortages - which means they may experience difficulty recruiting people to work in that particular area. When this happens, there is a high demand for good graduates with the relevant qualifications, which makes getting a job easer if you've done well!

An example of an area with a serious skills shortage is Flood Risk Management - the last ten years or so you'll have heard a lot about flooding throughout the UK and Flood Risk Management is all about assessing and minimising the risk of flooding before it happens.
