Construction Web

Construction Web provides a solution brokerage service for the construction sector, primarily in the ULV area but increasingly in the north and east sub-regions of London. Its mission is to reduce worklessness in the ULV but through an employer led approach. A growth in local employment opportunities is to be achieved through increasing the competitiveness of the local construction sector. Construction Web provides a point of contact for both the demand (employers) and supply (training bodies and the public sector) sides of the industry. Construction Web also works on a strategic level with major clients (such as the local authorities and the NHS) to maximize the impact of their investment on the local economy through Section 106 and local labour/supply agreements.

Objectives of Construction Web :

  • To provide a single point of contact for the local construction sector.
  • To increase the competitiveness of the construction sector operating in the ULV area.
  • To boost the competence of employed people to ensure job progression and to supply employers with required workplace skills.
  • To develop a responsive employer led programme that leads individuals from economic inactivity to employment.
  • To address barriers to work amongst the most disadvantaged, disaffected or excluded.
  • Connecting non-employed people with newly created jobs in the ULV opportunity area.
  • To supporting the learning sector - in particular to increase relevant vocational learning and raise general levels of participation and attainment.
