A new skills academy offering fully-funded training programmes to military veterans is set to open at the Drayton highways depot in Oxfordshire.

Veterans’ capabilities can be of significant benefit to the construction industry, but the transition isn’t always smooth without the right support from employers.

BuildForce is inviting construction professionals to join its annual trek through Dorset in honour of Armed Forces Day (28 June).
