Construction York

Welcome to Construction York! We are working with City of York Council to create employment and training opportunities within the construction industry.   Our city is about to embark on several key housing and commercial developments. Including the retrofitting work that’s needed to hit our carbon reduction targets.   That means there will be an increasing number of opportunities for skilled construction workers in the York area.   By creating a network of businesses, contractors, training providers, charities, and community groups, we aim to help individuals find training and long-term employment. We're also here to support employers (and the wider industry) by generating new entry level positions and supporting current employees with their career progression. Our goals include:   ✅ Extending the eligibility of existing training provision (e.g. ensuring those that fall outside the traditional 16-19 or 25+ bracket can still access training) ✅ Ensuring training meets employers’ skills requirements and supporting individuals and cohorts into guaranteed jobs in local industry   ✅ Increasing the capacity of current training provision in York ✅ Bringing additional training to York that is already being delivered elsewhere in the region, so local residents can benefit.   Whether you're an individual, business, training provider, charity or another organisation supporting York residents into work, we'd love to hear from you.   Visit our website https://lnkd.in/dag5vqZH and sign up for more information and opportunities. And make sure you’re following our LinkedIn page for updates! 😁 #ConstructionYork #SkillsDevelopment #Careers #BuildingTheFuture #York #Construction

Do CITB hubs work? What do we think? Creating apprenticeships is one thing, but the supporting framework needs to be there: – More people encouraged into the industry at one end. – Employers encouraged to take on apprentices at the other. Unfortunately it’s often smaller, non-CITB levy paying companies that desperately need apprentices – but can’t access the funding. How can we fix this? Is there anything bigger contractors can do to support? #ConstructionYork #ConstructionSkills #CITB #Apprenticeships #ConstructionTraining #ConstructionJobs #SME #Subcontractor https://lnkd.in/emCActQF
