Consortium<\/a> (TAC).<\/p>\n<p>The report, with data used from a CIC survey of employers, recommends that the government works with CIC, employers and the professional

of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/supply-chain-apprenticeship-levy\/61939\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">apprenticeship levy<\/a>;<\/li>\n<li>Join

report and is CIC champion on higher education and UCEM\u2019s director of research, innovation and partnerships, said: \u201cThe construction industry is integral to the UK\u2019s financial health and can provide the catalyst for an economic recovery accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApprenticeships are hugely important for employers to train workforces with the appropriate skill set to achieve the ambitious infrastructure projects projected across the nation, however, both businesses and education providers need to have more input in how these are run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe research shows that there is a desire throughout the construction industry to get apprenticeships right and, if government listens and acts upon the recommendations outlined, there could be huge benefits for the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CIC chief executive, Graham Watts OBE, said: \u201cCIC would like to thank UCEM and everyone else involved for their time and expertise in pulling together this crucial report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow is the time for government to work with our sector to showcase and promote the careers across the full spectrum of employers and occupational roles, showing the opportunity that future talent can have in driving forward innovation and technological solutions that will shape their environment for the better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read the full
