Senior leaders from across construction and Government Ministers will launch the construction sector skills mission this week, to ensure the sector has the workforce it needs to deliver.
The Construction Skills Mission Board will meet on the 26 June, to set a strategy for recruiting an additional 100,000 workers a year by the end of the Parliament.
The Board was established by the Construction Leadership Council to support the Government’s commitment to invest an additional £625 million in construction skills. To support delivery of this strategy, the government is funding at least £725 billion for infrastructure over the next decade, as well as building 1.5m new homes, and retrofitting an additional 5 million homes.
The Board will be chaired by CLC co-chair Mark Reynolds. The Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, the Rt Hon Angela Rayner MP, will join the first meeting alongside other Ministers, representatives of the supply chain and training organisations.
