The popularity of new methods of home building and emerging technologies in construction is growing as part of efforts across the region to meet the 2030 net zero carbon target set by the West of England Combined Authority.
We have introduced Skills Bootcamp – Future of Construction to help you and your business identify and understand the benefits of modern methods of construction and offsite solutions.
Through this training course, you will learn how to reduce the environmental impact of construction, whilst building your confidence in the requirement for traditional trades and skills, which continue to be fundamental to the industry.
Training will be delivered through a blend of virtual and in-person weekly masterclasses which will include site visits, online seminars and support from local industry experts and mentors.The training can be delivered as a 10-week programme or a fast track 6 or 8 week programme depending on the level of time you have available to commit.
Skills Bootcamp – Future of Construction is part of the UK Government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee, helping everyone gain skills for life. The training is funded by the West of England Combined Authority and delivered by YTKO, through Building Growth South West.
These sessions will be held weekly, either in-person at a central location or online.
Modules within Skills Bootcamp – Future of Construction will cover the following topics.
You will be required to work on a portfolio to enhance your learning experience and prepare you to apply your skills on a day-to-day basis. You will complete sections of your portfolio after each Masterclass, which will be reviewed by the tutors to supply feedback and suggestions for improvements.
Upon completion of the course, you will be able to take on an additional level of responsibility and demonstrate expertise within your existing company to help win new clients and contracts or enable you to progress in your career in the construction sector.
