Client Based Approach

The National Skills Academy for Construction provides a framework to bring together all partners involved in a project to co-ordinate skills needs and training delivery. Partners include:

• employers
• clients
• contractors
• ConstructionSkills
• the Learning & Skills Council
• training providers
• universities
• local authorities
• regional development agencies, and
• Jobcentre Plus

The National Skills Academy for Construction provides an ideal opportunity for the public sector to work with construction suppliers more effectively.

Organisations appointing contractors for construction projects can set the training, upskilling, work experience and community support you need in your region.

The model supports existing high quality training which meets employer-defined standards, helping to encourage increased investment in training.
