Construction professionals can take a tour of the NHBC Multi-Skill Training Hub in Litchfield next month and see how the facility prepares trades apprentices for working on an active site.
Focusing on the trades that are in the greatest demand for building houses – bricklaying, groundworking and site carpentry – the hub is funded in partnership with the CITB, with land provided by Barratt/Redrow and is designed to replicate site conditions while allowing learning in a safe environment.
NHBC became a registered apprenticeship provider in 2020 and opened its first training hub for bricklaying in Tamworth in May 2021. Apprentices learn by using typical tools and equipment, as well as being given an understanding of key build methods and being introduced to the requirements of the NHBC Standards.
CIOB members and non-members will tour the hub led by technical trainer Leigh Jakeman MCIOB. The visit takes place on 24 November.
