Housebuilding gets boost with CITB’s fast-track apprenticeship scheme
Summary
The Construction Industry Training Board has launched an Accelerated Apprenticeship scheme aimed at shortening apprenticeship duration by up to a year. The initiative is presented as a way to support the housebuilding sector by speeding up the training pipeline for construction workers.
Why it matters
