A joined-up construction sector is critical if we are to maximise on the unprecedented opportunities that lie ahead. We must attract new people into the industry and skill-up and develop existing talent to ensure we have the manufacturing capacity, professional services, local contractors and the skilled workforce to enjoy the full benefits of this economic growth.

Delivery of the built environment requires an unrivalled range of skills and professions as we embrace the transformation of the West Midlands. With an ageing work force and unprecedented levels of growth including HS2, UK Central and plans to build 215,000 new homes, the opportunity to become part of delivering the future of the West Midlands is truly exciting.

This one-stop portal highlights the major projects, identifies the range of skills required, signposts the training courses, promotes placements jobs and will in the future list upcoming project opportunities.
