For the second year in a row, the number of people starting ‘construction, planning and the built environment’ apprenticeships in England in 2014/15 has risen to 17,820. Although the figure is the highest since 2010/11, it is still considerably less than the peak of 2006/07 that saw 27,300 people start construction apprenticeships.

The news of increased apprenticeships comes as construction industry employment continues to grow at a steady rate. The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics show a 0.5% rise in construction employees over the past year, from 2,096,000 to 2,106,000.

For some, this growth in employment and apprenticeship numbers is evidence of the industry responding to warning predictions over the past year of skills shortages. Tom Crane, an economist at industry analyst Glenigan said, “The increased numbers of apprenticeships may not solve the skills shortage in the short-term, this will be solved by people coming back from other industries and abroad.

In addition to these encouraging figures, analysis of the latest Labour Market statistics show that the average weekly earnings of construction workers in the three months to August was £593, compared with £557 the year before. This rise by an average of 5.1% is the fastest annual increase in any UK industry, with an increase of 10,000 jobs since June 2014.
