the Yorkshire & Humber Construction Directory Set to Launch

the Yorkshire & Humber Construction Directory Set to Launch, comissioned from CTEC, at Leeds College of Building – with Providers Invited to Engage

Yorkshire Learning Providers (YLP), on behalf of the Yorkshire and Humber Technical Excellence College (CTEC), is excited to launch a new research initiative to map and showcase construction apprenticeship and training provision across the region.

This innovative project will identify providers delivering apprenticeships, study programmes, T-Levels, adult skills, and vocational training in the construction sector. The research will also highlight gaps in provision to ensure learners and employers can access high-quality training where it’s needed most.

As part of the project, YLP will:

• Complete a mapping exercise of construction training providers across Yorkshire & Humberside.
• Produce a detailed provider matrix including contact information, provision type, levels, and sectors covered.
• Design and develop a digital, searchable provider directory and flipbook to support marketing, promotion, and referral activity.
• Carry out ongoing monthly maintenance and updates to reflect new provision and gaps.
• Produce a gap analysis report to support the CTEC’s planning and development work.

This research, mapping and directory will enable a live review into the skills, provision and providers who can support the construction sector, infrastructure projects and enable better knowledge and access to the skills ecosystem for Y&H

Nikki Davis, Principal & CEO of the Strategic Leadership Team noted that she is:

“Really pleased to see the work commissioned by the Yorkshire and Humber CTEC take shape so quickly, supporting us to identify areas where delivery can be enhanced. It’s essential that skills are in the right place at the right time, so employers and students can access high-quality training. Linking this to the Construction Skills Mission Board’s work on future demand will ensure we collectively address the sector’s skills needs.”

Construction providers across Yorkshire and Humberside are encouraged to engage with the research and contribute to the digital directory. This is a unique opportunity to be featured in a central, searchable resource that will help connect employers, learners, and stakeholders with the full range of regional provision.
