We are thrilled to announce the launch of The M&J Academy, the construction industry’s first bespoke groundworks apprentice programme, in partnership with the National House Building Council (NHBC). 🤩 Chris Southgate, CEO of M&J, commented: “We are incredibly passionate about developing the next generation of superstars in our industry. We created our apprentice programme to give us an opportunity to train and mentor new people entering the industry both in the vital skills and knowledge needed, but also in something we call the “M&J Way.” These are our guiding principles towards delivering the highest levels of quality, professionalism, and customer satisfaction.” Read more here➡️ https://loom.ly/Af18v5g #Apprenticeships #Construction #Groundworks #BespokeProgramme

As TICA-ACAD oversee the Alliance Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) for Thermal Insulation we have been able to closely analyse the current workforce age profile and compare this to what is happening in the wider construction industry. The long and short of it is, that like with the wider construction industry, Thermal Insulation also has an ageing workforce; 30% of carded insulators will reach retirement age in the next 10-15 years. As the Trade Association representing the Thermal Insulation industry, it has been crucial for us to proactively try to remedy this skills gap. The good news - we have more than doubled apprenticeship numbers in the last 3 years and already forecast that we will more than replace those leaving the industry through retirement over the next 10-15 years. This is a very different picture to many other trades experiencing the same issues… The bad news - there’s still so much more we can do!! I bang on about this all the time but if I asked any Thermal Insulation contractor what their biggest challenge is, without missing a beat they would say “skilled labour. I have more work than people to fulfil it!”. Which in some respects is a nice problem to have, but nevertheless is still a problem. So yes, replacing the ageing workforce, we’ve got it covered! But GROWING the current and future workforce is where we need a call to action from ALL contractors (members and none-members alike) if they are to really meet demand. What the infographic here is trying to highlight is growing the workforce to the level needed is completely within the realms of possibility. If every contractor took just ONE (or one more) apprentice for the next 3-5 years this would completely change the trajectory and go a really long way to future proofing the industry. Please have a read of the original post and the corresponding press release. If you’ve never taken a Thermal Insulation apprentice before or are keen to take more then please feel free to DM me. We have an abundance of advice and support to help you on the apprenticeship journey and a range of events coming in the new year which should myth bust some of those common misconceptions about apprenticeships #skillsgap #ageingworkforce #onemoreapprentice #apprenticeships #construction #careers #ticaacad #thermalinsulation #flytheflagifyoulag #lagging #lagger
