A real redbrick university Telegraph.co.uk
Each year, according to the Construction Industries Training Board, we need 83,000 new entrants to the industry just to keep up with demand.
The biggest shortfall is in carpenters and joiners (12,000 new ones needed next year), followed by plumbers (6,300) and bricklayers (5,900).
So, instead of packing our children off to do media studies at the Polytechnic of Blind Faith, why don't we send them to Builders' University - always supposing such a place exists?
Well, actually, it does. Although it hasn't any dreaming spires, the National Construction College in Norfolk does have plenty of cranes.------------------------------------------- posted 5:20 AM :: reference link ::
