TRAINING SPOTLIGHT
SCARBOROUGH CONSTRUCTION SKILLS VILLAGE
Located in the heart of the largest housing construction site in Yorkshire, the Construction Skills Village is an initiative that meets the current and future needs of the construction industry for the Borough.
over the next 5 years and over £40bn + of offshore construction off the Yorkshire Coast, the village gives local people the knowledge, skills and access routes into the construction industry. Importantly it gives employers a greater say in what is provided.
LIVE SITE ENVIRONMENT
The village is set up to replicate a 'live site' environment and can accommodate a whole range of learning disciplines from traditional house building trades to ground- works, civil engineering and even mine construction operations. The site also has scope to cater for offshore specific construction training activity.

ECONOMIC GROWTH PLANS Established to address the economic growth plans of the town which include over £2bn of proposed construction activity
SHOP WINDOW
The site acts as the ‘shop window’ for businesses looking for staff and broadens the horizons of apprentices, trainees and work experience placements learning and working on-site and being exposed to the wide range of construction sectors and disciplines.
EMPLOYER NEEDS
The Village can respond directly to employer needs. At the moment the focus is on the needs of house builders but programmes are being developed to address the wider needs of the construction industry with a focus on green skills and new methods of construction.
MOVING FORWARD
The first batch of 50 learners commenced in July 2015 and going forward there will be work with schools, both secondary and primary to promote the range of career opportunities within the sector.
LEAD PARTNERS
The CITB, Yorkshire Coast College, Redcar and Cleveland College and Leeds College of Building are lead partners and can offer the whole range of training opportunities from a day course to higher level degree equivalents.
The flexible arrangement is set up to accommodate new delivery partners as necessary, ensuring that the Construction Skills Village always puts employer needs first.

STATE-OF-THE-ART EDUCATION FACILITY
Scarborough UTC (University Technical College), which is due to open in September 2016, will function as a specialist advance engineering, design and control school providing young people with a route into industry and supporting the needs of the manufacturing and engineering sector in the local area. The University Technical College will be a state- of-the-art education facility with the latest in leading edge technology and equipment.
COMMITMENT
Backed by local businesses including Unison, McCains and Dale Power and supported by Hull University, who are committed to raising the skill levels within Scarborough, the University Technical College will offer students high status academic qualifications, supported by partner-backed projects to enrich the relevant skills demanded by employers.
The courses will focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths,
enabling these students with aspirations for advanced engineering, design and control careers to develop and progress in their chosen fields.
GROWING SKILLS GAP The Scarborough area is facing a growing skills gap and with the planned expansion of engineering type roles within the coastal community, the University Technical College will be a fundamental part of the area’s economy, providing wider commercial benefits for the town, Borough and Yorkshire region in terms of job prospects and growth.
ULTIMATE TRAINING GROUND Scarborough is a town that is going places and will be the ultimate training ground for engineering and scientific skills. Not only will the University Technical College benefit local young people in terms of offering a choice of high quality, specialist education, it will also attract students from the wider regional area.
Scarborough Harbour
Scarborough UTC will provide students project-based learning alongside their GCSE and A-Levels, equipping them with the right skills and inspiring them to become the engineers of tomorrow.
NEW FUTURE
The value that the University Technical College will bring to the Scarborough and Yorkshire Coast area will signal a new standard of excellence for the future of the engineering and manufacturing sectors and will create its own pool of young business talent.
