These apprenticeships are intended to encourage more young people into the construction industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a3100m of government funding, alongside \u00a332m from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/citb-launches-consensus-process-for-2026-29-levy-proposals\/149592\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CITB<\/a>, will be put towards more than 40,000 industry placements for Level 2 and Level 3 learners and those in NVQ\u2019s, BTECs, T-levels, and advanced apprenticeships.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cWe are gripping the lack of skilled construction workers\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, said: \u201cWe are determined to get Britain building again, that\u2019s why we are taking on the blockers to build 1.5m new homes and rebuild our roads, rail and energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut none of this is possible without the engineers, brickies, sparkies, and chippies to actually get the work done, which we are facing a massive shortage of. We\u2019ve overhauled the planning system that is holding this country back, now we are gripping the lack of skilled construction workers, delivering on our Plan for Change to boost jobs and growth for working people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson said: \u201cSkills are crucial to this government\u2019s mission to grow the economy under our Plan for Change, and nowhere is that clearer than in the construction industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are being held back by the largescale skills shortages in the construction sector which is a major barrier to the delivery of the growth mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese measures will break down barriers to opportunity for thousands of young people, helping them to thrive in \u2013 and build \u2013 their local communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mark Reynolds, executive chair at Mace, and co-chair of the Construction Skills Mission Board and of the Construction Leadership, said:\u00a0\u201cThis is fantastic news and demonstrates that Government is committed to working with the construction industry to deliver 1.5m homes by the end of this Parliament and its ambitious plans for infrastructure delivery. It\u2019s a hugely significant funding package, and the establishment of the Construction Skills Mission Board will enable us to collaborate with Government to drive change at pace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnderstandably, construction firms across the country are looking for certainty of pipeline before they commit to investing in new jobs and skills \u2013 but this investment by the Chancellor will be critical in giving them the confidence they need. There is now no excuse \u2013 industry must embrace the Government\u2019s growth mission and match their ambition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The reforms and plan ahead of the Spring budget can be read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/government-unleashes-next-generation-of-construction-workers-to-build-15m-homes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in full here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new construction skills package has been announced to boost the number of skilled roles in the construction industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":149712,"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":[285],"tags":[276,660,596],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-149711","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hr-skills-news","8":"tag-government","9":"tag-skills-shortage","10":"tag-training"},"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>New construction skills package worth \u00a3600m announced<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A new construction skills package has been announced to boost the number of skilled roles in the construction industry\" \/>\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\/hr-skills-news\/new-construction-skills-package-worth-600m-announced\/149711\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New construction skills package worth \u00a3600m announced\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A new construction skills package has been announced to boost the number of skilled roles in the construction industry\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/new-construction-skills-package-worth-600m-announced\/149711\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
