The UK is facing an acute labour market challenge. In the arena of housing, the shortage of skilled tradespeople is slowing progress on housing targets and limiting opportunities for people to build rewarding careers in the sector.
Places for People – Thrive (PfP Thrive) is committed to being part of the solution. As a dedicated initiative focused on driving positive economic and social impact, we invest in research, partnerships, and practical interventions to address skills shortages. Now, we’re bringing together key voices to explore how we can work collaboratively to upskill the workforce and unlock opportunities for individuals, businesses, and Communities.
Join us for a webinar with insights from our research with the University of Cambridge, experts from the Housing Diversity Network and the Building Research Establishment. We’ll discuss how we can take action—together.
