Construction: Apprenticeships

Monday 27th January 2025

Asked by: Jeevun Sandher (Labour - Loughborough)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to increase the number of construction apprenticeships.

Answered by Janet Daby

This government has an ambitious plan for re-building Britain, delivering 1.5 million homes in England in this Parliament.

Around 5,000 more construction apprenticeship places will be made available per year by the 2027/28 financial year thanks to an £140 million industry investment to get Britain building again.

32 new Homebuilding Skills Hubs will deliver fast-track training in critical areas such as bricklaying, groundwork, and site carpentry, to boost housebuilding and drive forward the government’s growth mission.
