West Midlands Combined Authority

Funded by the Department for Education, the Construction Skills Fund (CSF) aims to increase the number of people trained in construction, tackle the skills shortage and help build the homes and infrastructure England needs. 

Funding in excess of £20 million has been awarded to 26 projects in England to support the development of construction on-site training hubs.

Thousands of people across the West Midlands will get access to on-site construction training for infrastructure and housing projects, thanks to a series of new training hubs.

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has unlocked £2.3m from the Government’s Construction Skills Fund to help local people get jobs in the region’s booming construction industry.
