Workforce For The future - Unlocking MMC
“Without the sufficient upskilling of the local supply chain, traditional Construction SMEs will be at risk of falling behind”
Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and offsite manufacturing are seen as the future with opportunities to improve productivity and attract new talent to the industry.
The CITB predicts that nearly 50% of all housing in the next five years could be built using Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) but less than 17% of construction SMEs have any knowledge or understanding of MMC systems. Without the sufficient upskilling of the local supply chain, traditional Construction SMEs will be at risk of falling behind.
Building Growth South West is delivering Workforce for the Future on behalf of the West of England Combined Authority in collaboration with MOBIE and the Bristol Housing Festival. The project will support traditional construction SMEs across the West of England through fully funded MMC training – helping to bridge the skills gap and futureproof the local workforce.
