The UK’s chronic lack of homes has prompted an ambitious government target to build 1.5m by 2029. However, the reality on the ground – staff shortages, skills gaps, rising costs and legislation changes – means that there are huge challenges to address.
Join us as our guest and tell us the skills you need from the Further Education sector. We’ll be digging into the challenges that house builders face and discussing how we can collaborate to accelerate growth.
- Keynote Speaker: Deb Madden – Executive Director – Nations Engagement, CITB – Skills Hubs, CITB grants.
- Hear about latest government initiatives including Short Foundation Apprenticeships & Construction Skills Hubs.
- Learn about latest industry legislative change and its impact, retrofit opportunities, green technologies and more.
