Tens of thousands of new housebuilding jobs and
apprenticeships will be up for grabs for years to come under a deal struck

is one of the key problems facing their industry, and that they need a range of
building skills as well as site managers, surveyors, planners and designers. The
plan will ensure young Brits leaving school or our Armed Forces benefit from
this turn-around but it will also help former builders to consider a return to
the industry. Read more on the CLG website.
