The Lichfield Multi-Skill Training Hub will focus on the trades that are in the greatest demand for building houses - bricklaying, groundworking and site carpentry. It is funded in partnership with the CITB, with land provided by Redrow Homes and is designed to replicate site conditions while allowing learning in a safe environment. Apprentices will be prepared for working on an active site, from using typical tools and equipment, to understanding key build methods and being introduced to the requirements of the NHBC Standards.

"The new NHBC Multi-Skill Training Hubs will revolutionise house-building training, tackle the skills shortage head-on and make a real difference to the future of the industry. Our mission is to make sure every apprentice meets NHBC’s industry-leading standards, driving quality and delivering the homes the UK urgently needs."

Roger Morton, Director of Business Change, NHBC

“The multi-skill training hubs are a fantastic initiative for people who want to pursue a career in home building. We have worked closely with NHBC, government and the home-building industry to develop a programme that is focused on equipping individuals with the skills they need to be productive on site."

Tim Balcon, CEO, CITB

"Redrow is delighted to be able to offer the land for the development of the new NHBC Multi-Skill Training Hub, reflecting our dedication to investing in people, creating opportunities and equipping them with the resources they need to achieve a career in our industry.”
