To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to increase the number of construction apprenticeships.
Janet Daby
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Education
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.
