Better training.
Stronger trades.
A brighter future.

Building the future
needs better training.

The UK needs 6.5 million new homes by 2040. But the current pipeline of skilled tradespeople isn't enough. It's time to rethink how we train, support and inspire the next generation.

The workforce doesn't add up

The training challenge

In our experience, we don't deliver
trade ready people to sites. We typically have to train them from the ground up.

The incentive
isn't enough

The government incentive to take on
apprentices doesn't stack up when you
look at the time vs. money ratio.

The liability and responsibility of employing a young person into a high-risk profession doesn't incentivise.

We at Rebuild Academy are starting
the conversation and inviting you to be
part of it. We can't do this alone -
the more people who are part of the
conversation, the more people can shape
how this works best for the industry.

Let's build a stronger
trade education system
