Abstract

The Construction Skills Fund is a part of the Government’s National Retraining Scheme. The fund is focused on increasing the number of people trained in construction skills to create a workforce to meet the needs of the sector.

The Construction Skills Fund (CSF) will seek to fund at least 20 on-site training hubs, to help build the homes and infrastructure England needs.

An on-site Training Hub is a mobile training centre which has facilities to deliver educational and practical skills. Supporting the need of significant construction projects or truly mobile in supporting a programme of projects, the CSF is seeking innovative approaches to creating alignment between the employment needs of construction projects and the employment opportunities which can be created within the community of the construction work.

To maximise the opportunity to address skills shortages through the fund, the focus is on employer-led approaches to construction training. The approach should complement existing entry routes into the sector, prioritising projects which aim to retrain older adults to work in the construction sector so that everyone – regardless of their age – has the chance to gain the skills they need to make the most of the opportunities that lie ahead.

The on-site training hubs also have the potential to contribute to the phased implementation of T-levels in offering a longer-term consideration within this investment.
