The Government has started the review into the future role of both the construction and engineering construction industry training boards.
Former chief construction adviser Paul Morrell will conduct the review into the future shape of training boards as the Government prepares to roll out its new pan industry apprenticeship levy next year.
The move has created a complicated training levy and funding structure, which has created confusion in the industry at a time when demand for skills is at its highest.
The announcement follows Mark Farmer’s Modernise or Die report for the Construction Leadership Council, which posed several questions about the ability of the construction sector to maintain and expand capacity, and the effectiveness and future role for the Construction Industry Training Board.
Morrell, a former senior partner of Davis Langdon, and the government’s first Chief Construction Adviser until 2012, produced the ‘Low Carbon Construction’ six years ago for Government.
Robert Halfon, Minister of State for Apprenticeships and Skills said: “The government’s ambitious infrastructure and housing plans require a step up in capability and capacity in the construction sector.
“Training boards can help deliver the skills we desperately need and I look forward to seeing some real recommendations from this review.”
