Construction Technical Excellence Colleges (CTECs)
Dudley College of Technology is delighted to have
been named as one of only 10 Construction Technical Excellence
Colleges (CTECs) in England. This kitemark of excellence has been
awarded following a national bidding process lead by the Department for
Education (DfE). The college has been chosen to shape a region wide
approach to boost skills in all areas of construction including traditional
trades such as Brickwork, Plumbing and Electrical as well as emerging skills
need such as Solar PV Installation.
On the back of this success the college will share in £80m
capital funding and £20m revenue funding pledge over the next 4 years to
support CTECs to work collaboratively with employers, other training providers
and professional bodies such as CITB, to meet the challenges they face in
recruiting a workforce to deliver new build and infrastructure projects.
CTECs, working alongside government and mayoral strategic
authorities, and other partners in the skills system will co-design and
implement solutions to increase delivery against these 5 objectives:
- boosting
construction skills provision in direct response to local and national
employer needs
- delivering
high-quality teaching practice and curricula in construction courses,
including continuous professional development for staff, with an emphasis
on site integration and employer input
- leveraging
employer engagement and investment in construction skills provision
- collaboration
with other further education (FE) providers to boost construction
provision and quality both locally and nationally
- clear
pathways for learners to progress into work in the construction industry
or into higher level education construction courses
