Huge thanks to the team at Kent Construction Focus Group (KCFG) for inviting us to present at their breakfast meeting this morning.

Our LSIP Programme Lead, Camilla Maurice, announced the recent publication of our 2024 Progress Report which outlines the work achieved by the LSIP so far and the planned next steps which will drive the skills agenda in Kent & Medway forwards; crucially with employers at the heart of the conversation but testament to the collaborative efforts of our stakeholders who are invested in enhancing skills and improving opportunities within our community.

Camilla also launched our Construction Skills Survey, the first of our Autumn Surveys; the results of which will help us understand how labour and skills shortages can be addressed in the Construction Sector. Please do complete the survey here to have your voice heard and help inform our next steps –  Thank you!

Samuel Perkins from EKC Group shared their plans for a new Graduate Scheme currently under consultation that they hope will help address the tutor shortage challenges faced in Construction Further Education. EKC Group welcome feedback and advice during the planning stage so please do reach out.

We also heard from Ben Geering of Quinn Estates who outlined some of their ambitious and ground-breaking construction projects that have community and infrastructure at the heart.

A great morning and a great buzz in the room.

KCFG Meet every first Tuesday of the month but not next month as everyone will be at the Kent Construction EXPO on Thursday 3rd October at the Kent Event Centre Detling. You can book your place here
