Construction

The construction has been hit by the recession but demand is starting to return for new office, retail and leisure space, while adding energy efficiency measures to existing buildings could drive growth in repairs and maintenance. There is a continuing need to invest in young talent within this sector as key skills are lost through retirement. The National Construction College based at four centres across the UK, offers industry-focused training, access to funding, real-life site based facilities and extensive support around careers in the construction industry.
