NHBC has launched its first multi-skill construction training hub, part of its £100 million UK-wide programme to address the skills shortage and support the government’s goal of delivering 1.5 million new homes in this parliament. The training hub in Lichfield, Staffordshire, is the first of 12 being rolled out nationwide by the new home warranties and insurance provider. Collectively, the hubs will train up to 3,000 apprentices a year in real site conditions, tackling the growing demand for skilled trades across the housebuilding sector.
