New City College

We are developing a robust and detailed evidence base to better understand current and future skills needs across London’s construction and built environment sector. This work is being carried out in partnership with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), the Greater London Authority (GLA), and the Interim Talent Board for Construction & Built Environment, bringing together sector intelligence, labour market data, employer insight, and policy priorities. 

By combining quantitative data with direct engagement from employers, providers and industry stakeholders, we aim to build a clear picture of where skills gaps and shortages exist, how demand is evolving, and what this means for workforce development across the capital. 

This evidence will enable us to prioritise targeted improvements to existing courses and qualifications, ensuring they remain relevant, high-quality and aligned to employer needs. It will also inform the design and development of new provision in emerging or high-demand areas, helping to strengthen progression pathways and support a sustainable, future-ready workforce for London.

Skills Providers

We are establishing a network of skills providers who are delivering construction courses across the region. We will coordinate the delivery of high-quality skills provision in response to employer skills needs.  

If you are a skills provider delivering more than 100 starts on construction courses with a headquarters in London, you can be part of our network. This is a requirement for receiving CTEC capital that has been devolved to the GLA.
