PUTTING TRAINING IN THE SPOTLIGHT
With apprentices at the top of the agenda at the state opening
of Parliament, UK Construction Week has announced a string
of training focused content at the show this October.
»»UK Construction
Week has placed a strong focus
on training and development
at the exhibition, with several
skills-based sessions on the main
seminar stage. In addition, the
Homebuilding and Site Zones
at the Build Show, one of the
nine events to make up UK
Construction Week, will look

at the relationship between
apprenticeships and house building
in more depth.
Nathan Garnett, Show Director,
commented: “Apprenticeships will
be absolutely critical to achieving
the government’s ambitious starter
home targets over the next few
years. Finding skilled labour is
a struggle faced by the whole

construction industry right now, but
many people are unsure how to go
about dealing with the issue.”
UK Construction Week will
take place at the Birmingham
NEC from 6 – 11 October (with
the trade only days from 6 – 8
October) the event will unite
1,000 exhibitors with an expected
audience of 55,000 visitors.
