BUILDING SCHOOL
from Edition 66
Ambition to create a new facility for teaching and learning
Your Postcode in conjunction with park community school,the nhBc (national house Building council) and leading housing developers are planning to create outstanding opportunities for schoolchildren to promote their practical skill development for possible entry into building industry apprenticeships on leaving their full-time education at local schools.

such pre-school leaving skills training was provided in the 1950’s by the city of portsmouth Building school preparing schoolchildren for entry into the Building industry to meet the need for re-building following devastation of the city during the second world-war with the realisation that children are needed for skills training to enable them to discover if they are suited to working in the building industry where many apprenticeship opportunities are not being met despite the government’s ambition to grow this aspect of school-leavers development.
in cambridge, the nhBc recently opened the third of their training hubs offering students opportunities in the building industry to combat the skills gap and housing shortage.
