BuildLondon

BuildLondon is the only London-wide, specialist construction industry brokerage, offering an unrivalled and unique network of partners – including contractors, employers, local authorities, colleges, employment support schemes and diversity initiatives. We aim to support communities, promote diversity in construction and enable people to train, upskill or reskill in the construction sector to help address existing and future skills gaps. We work with training colleges, skills providers and apprenticeship schemes to promote opportunities for trainees, and can also work with Local Authority employment schemes to add value through workshops or specialist training. BuildLondon works closely with the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) and JobCentrePlus. We aim to give careers in construction a greater level of visibility amongst communities through presence at employment and skills events and, by helping to promote a positive image of construction, to encourage greater interest in careers in the sector.
