Skills

Drive forward cohesive, innovative and future focussed community benefits in public sector contracts- case studies/embedding good practice that supports the sector to attract and create opportunities to build a diverse future workforce and support the current workforce develop skills needed for transformation.

Optimise engagement with the potential ‘talent pool’- designing an approach that builds on work done through "Build Your Future"- to raise awareness and positively interact across the wide range of career opportunities. Embed a "brand construction" message (capturing sector insights followed by longer term strategy) with a focus on who can be part of construction and the built environment as a positive career destination, ensuring we widen reach of engagement.

Publish an engaging and ambitious thought piece that captures the sector ambition/potential for "Construction 2033" through the lens of skills development and talent attraction, engaging across new sector talent but also established Industry leaders to look at cultural perspectives.

Apprenticeship frameworks are designed and updated in partnership with Industry to ensure vital skills needed to support positive transformation and drive to net zero are embedded.

Gather insights and publish recommendations to frame workforce competence - linking with CLC work across rest of the UK, CITB activity around Occupational Competence, and CICV knowledge base - that supports relevant partners' work, removing barriers and constraints and addresses gaps and issues within specific areas of industry.

Establish a skills network by engaging across the public sector skills ecosystem to improve knowledge sharing and expertise on skills issues.

Assess skills implications across the sector with a spotlight across the workstreams e.g. Digital, Net Zero, MMC to feed into the new skills network that will help to drive ambition and change.
