After a survey in 2013, it was identified that London was a missing link in the national network of training groups. Therefore, it is crucial to fill the skills gaps and propose further development for the construction industry. Simultaneously, to enhance local engagement of people interested in acquiring the required skills to work at construction sites near them. Builders are the most indemand trade across the UK and rank in the top ten paid trades. However, according to the statistics, the lack of apprenticeships is highly impacting the skill shortage in the construction industry - at 27%. Disappointingly, the construction sector has made minor progress for the past 60 years compared to others, such as Utilities, agriculture and more.
