Battersea Power Station helps train London’s next generation of construction workers

Hundreds of construction trainees in London are gaining entry into the construction industry thanks to an onsite training hub at Battersea Power Station which is run by Wandsworth Council’s Work Match team and funded by the Construction Skills Fund. The hub was awarded £500,000 through the CSF in October 2018, and is coordinating its training scheme with support from the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB). Construction partners helping to deliver the scheme include Mace and Sir Robert McAlpine, as well as Taylor Wimpey that is enabling scaffolding training on a nearby site.
