This report will impact significantly on the education and training of young people who would like to enter the construction industry and Lobban adds that “ConstructionSkills looks forward to working with other stakeholders, including government, to develop these proposal in such a way that together we can realize the enormous potential benefits for the construction industry.”

As the industry voice for construction, ConstructionSkills seeks to ensure that these reforms will have the maximum benefit and well placed to lead the way, as it already has a strong history of work with the education sector.
