Construction Employment to Reach 200,000 in Yorkshire and the Humber

According to the CITB, employment in the construction sector in Yorkshire and the Humber is set to reach 200,000 by 2020.

New figures from the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) have revealed there will be 8,000 new construction jobs created in Yorkshire and the Humber over the next five years, growing employment in the industry to over 200,000 people. An annual report from CITB has predicted a steady annual growth in construction output of 2.4 per cent leading up to 2020.

Steve Housden, sector strategy manager at CITB for Yorkshire and the Humber, said:

"We can't build the Britain we want without apprenticeships and the careers they lead to. That's why we want these new statistics, showing solid, sustained growth, to inspire more people across Yorkshire and the Humber to start apprenticeships and more construction firms to take them on.

"We also want to attract workers who have left the industry to return, and upskill those in it, so we can deliver major projects and new housing faster and better."
