Government plans to train next generation of construction workers
Thousands more young people will be given the opportunity to train as bricklayers, plumbers and engineers as the government creates 13,000 apprenticeship and T Level placement opportunities as part of its plan to transform school buildings.
As part of the upcoming education estates strategy, construction firms working on school building projects will have to show that they are providing opportunities for apprentices and T Level students, ensuring more young people are given the chance to gain the skills the country needs for the future. 90% of these opportunities will be offered within a 30 mile radius of the school being built, providing a boost to local communities across the country.
