Barnsley College, in collaboration with Laing O’Rourke and T3 Training & Development, has opened the UK’s first dedicated modern methods of construction (MMC) training facility.

Brackley Village Skills Academy set to inspire next wave of construction talent in Salford Vistry Group is celebrating the launch of a new construction skills academy at its Fairways residential development in Salford, further building on its commitment to inspiring the next generation of tradespeople and addressing the industry’s skills shortfall. The Brackley Village Skills Academy has been opened in collaboration with local education and training providers to introduce learners of all ages to the skills needed to thrive in a construction career. Based within a custom-built facility at Vistry’s Fairways development in Little Hulton, the Skills Academy is expected to inspire hundreds of learners as work continues on construction of new homes on the former Brackley Golf Club site over the next two years. The Fairways will feature 345 homes: 138 available for rent and managed by Sigma, 41 will be affordable and managed by Great Places, while the remaining 166 will be marketed for sale by Countryside Homes, part of Vistry Group. The Brackley Village Skills Academy launch was attended by local dignitaries and representatives of the training and education organisations collaborating with Vistry on the initiative, including the Salford Skills and Work Board, Ionic Community Connections and Frameworks Social Enterprise CIC. According to the UK Trade Skills Index 2024, 1.3 million new recruits and 350,000 apprentices are needed in the construction sector over the next decade if it is going to keep up with targets for new homes and reach net zero targets. https://lnkd.in/eTeYG6DM
