SUMMARY:Building Pathways to Construction
DESCRIPTION:This practical webinar explored our construction offer and progression pathways\, and how entry level and Level 1 qualifications are being used successfully to engage learners and meet local skills needs. The session featured insights from Gateway Qualifications alongside delivery partners CITB\, Coleg Cambria and Action Community Enterprises (ACE)\, highlighting real-world delivery models funded through the Adult Skills Fund. \n \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \nHosted by Chris Deeprose\, Business Development Manager\, the webinar explored how these programmes support NEET learners\, improve engagement and retention\, and help learners take their first steps into construction training\, apprenticeships\, or employment. It also addressed current challenges in engaging young people\, who today’s learners are\, and what effective 16–19 and adult construction provision looks like in practice. \nColleagues from our partner providers shared practical insights into learner engagement\, what has worked well in their delivery\, and how these qualifications are enabling learners to progress into construction careers. \nThis session is ideal for curriculum managers in FE colleges and Independent Training Providers (ITPs) who are planning provision for the next academic year or exploring new construction pathways. \nCatch up with the live webinar here!  \nYou can download handouts from the session: \nPowerPoint Presentation \nColeg Cambria case study \n
