The regulator will be responsible for ensuring the safety of all new higher-risk buildings and for the oversight of 12,000 existing occupied tall buildings.<\/p>\n<h3>A three year, fully funded learning and development plan<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The building programme will see more than 150 people recruited into the building control profession with a three year fully funded learning and development plan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.labc.co.uk\/new-entrants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The construction trainee programme<\/a> is nationwide with a clear progression pathway, and LABC are looking for people who can demonstrate leadership skills, solve problems creatively and work under pressure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fully-funded scheme means learning and development will be fully subsidised, and recruits will be paid while they study and progress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The construction trainee programme allows candidates to gain the skills, knowledge and experience to be able to competently deal with the full range of building work and other statutory functions undertaken by building control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trainees\u2019 specific development and learning will be supported while they undertake studies for the Level 4 and Level 5 Diplomas in Building Control followed by funded level 6 (degree level) learning once they are in permanent employment with a local authority.<\/p>\n<h3>Giving recruits first hand opportunities<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The educational programme provided by LABC is combined with experiential learning gained while being placed with a local authority building control team. Shadowing building control professionals gives recruits first hand opportunity to see how the knowledge they gain is applied practically to make sure buildings are safe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a trainee successfully completes each stage of learning and has gained sufficient experience, they can take the relevant validation assessment through the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebscf.org\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Building Safety Competence Foundation (BSCF).\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once trainees have completed the\u00a0three-year programme, they will be able to apply for roles within local authority building control teams.<\/p>\n<h3>The recruitment programme will bring in vital new recruits to the building control sector<\/h3>\n<p>LABC Chief Executive, Lorna Stimpson, commented: \u00a0\u201cLocal authority building control plays a vital and important public service, they ensure our buildings and cities are safe, healthy places to live and work. Building control professionals also play an important part in addressing the UK\u2019s response to the energy and climate crisis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The new responsibilities outlined in the Building Safety Act and the support LABC teams will give to the new regulator mean the profession needs to expand. We\u2019ve been working on this project for 18 months and are delighted that we have gained funding to fully subsidise the learning and development of new entrants.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a pivotal time for the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/building-control-dangerous-structures\/98448\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> building control profession<\/a>; this recruitment programme will bring in vital new recruits to strengthen the profession and make a real contribution to the communities where we live.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local Authority Building Control (LABC), has launched a new, fully-funded construction trainee scheme to attract new recruits into the profession.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[306],"tags":[429,676,172727,85942,592,596],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172466],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-114320","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-building-control-news","7":"tag-building-control","8":"tag-construction","9":"tag-featured","10":"tag-sh-labc","11":"tag-skills","12":"tag-training","13":"stakeholder_rel_tag-labc"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>LABC launch new fully-funded construction trainee programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Local Authority Building Control (LABC), has launched a new, fully-funded construction trainee programme to attract new recruits into the profession\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/labc-launch-new-fully-funded-construction-trainee-programme\/114320\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"LABC launch new fully-funded construction trainee scheme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Local Authority Building Control (LABC), has launched a new, fully-funded construction trainee scheme to attract new recruits into the profession\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/labc-launch-new-fully-funded-construction-trainee-programme\/114320\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
