33 & 34: The scope of the UKSST aligns with the NSbS Refresh and it will therefore consider the skills requirements and know-how for the entirety of the shipbuilding enterprise, including the warship, commercial, workboat and leisure market sectors, both in the short and long term. The UKSST will also consider the impact of technological innovation on these sectors, including naval shipbuilding, by progressing skills foresighting in key areas of technological advancements in order for the industry to better understand how they to respond to that technological change.
