Construction Work Tasters

Lodged by Martin Whitfield Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the Construction Work Tasters programme funded by the Construction Industry Training Board and delivered by a consortium of partners led by Developing the Young Workforce; understands that the £280,000 programme is designed encourage talented young people aged 16 to 25 to join and remain within the construction industry; welcomes that the programme aims to deliver over 2,800 high-quality work experience tasters of employment in the construction industry in Scotland over the next three years; commends that the programme will target groups traditionally not engaged with the construction sector to expand the pool of those gaining experience and insight into the industry; believes that the availability and accessibility of work experience tasters are important for addressing the industry’s recruitment challenges, and welcomes plans to evaluate the three-year project in which recommendations on work experience tasters will be made to Skills Development Scotland, Education Scotland and construction employers.
