The 5,000m\u00b2 Melbourne Street site increases the college\u2019s footprint by around one-third and will be transformed into a specialist training hub targeting key skills shortages.<\/p>\n<h3>LCB named among 10 Construction Technical Excellence Colleges<\/h3>\n<p>LCB vice principal, Rob Holmes, said: &#8220;We\u2019re delighted that this funding brings us a step closer to renovating our newly acquired CTEC building, helping us address critical regional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/leeds-college-of-building-awards-spotlight-young-talent-industry-tackles-skills-shortage\/155583\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skills gaps<\/a>. This investment is key to creating a specialist training environment in priority areas such as infrastructure, sustainability, and groundwork.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As one of the country\u2019s only Construction Technical Excellence Colleges, we play a vital role in strengthening the workforce that will keep both the construction industry and the wider economy moving forward. FECCA funding will enable us to develop the facilities needed to achieve this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The additional space will support the CTEC programme\u2019s ambition to train up to 40,000 workers in high-demand construction trades by 2029, helping to address ongoing skills shortages across the sector.<\/p>\n<p>Skills minister Jacqui Smith added: &#8220;The young people in these colleges are the engineers, bricklayers and designers of the future, and they and the dedicated staff teaching them deserve the best possible environment to learn and succeed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This \u00a330 million investment will repair and modernise facilities across all 18 colleges in Yorkshire and the Humber, giving young people the spaces they need to build the skills they need for good careers, helping to drive economic growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leeds College of Building (LCB) is set to receive more than \u00a3919,000 in government funding for essential estate upgrades, with the investment aimed at enhancing construction training capacity and addressing regional skills shortages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":161391,"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],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-161388","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"},"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>Skills boost as Leeds College of Building secures \u00a3919k for training facility renovation | Planning, Building &amp;
