Building the Future of Construction Together

The construction sector is the backbone of the UK economy, but a thriving industry relies on skilled professionals ready to meet the demands of modern projects. At UK Partnership for Skills, we bring together expert training providers to equip individuals with the hands-on skills and qualifications needed to succeed in construction.

What do we know about the need for workforce?

The UK construction industry faces a skills gap, and we’re here to bridge it.

Mandatory housing targets

All Councils in England have new, mandatory housing targets to pace the way to deliver 1.5 million new homes by 2030.

Construction workforce needed

The government itself has confirmed there is a dire shortage of construction workers and will take steps to rectify the problem. This means funding training to provide urgent supply of new skilled workforce.

Housing urgently needs recruits

For every 10,000 new homes to be built the sector needs about 30,000 new recruits across 12 trades. 

UKPFS can add value to the sector

All of these places are where we see the UK Skills Partnership fitting and adding value to the entire sector.

Meeting all demands

Accessing government funding for skills training brings additional demands around learner targeting, funding compliance, documentation evidence, regulation and Ofsted inspection about the quality of training. Many excellent training providers avoid this market because of these demands.

Payment within 30 days*

As a signatory to the Prompt Payment Code, we also ensure that *over 95% of our partners and suppliers receive full payment within 30 days so can alleviate cashflow risk to our partners.

A network of equal partners

As a network of equal partners we differ from the conventional prime or brokerage model, because all training delivery partners receive a fair share of the contractual profits and participate in management of the business.

Over 20 years of experience

Our solution is a partnership marrying a nationwide funded training specialist with over 20 years experience of successful delivery, with a network of local skills training companies by sharing a central bidding, administrative, and compliance hub.
