    Learning to work - and paid for it By Shola Adenekan, BBC News
    The skill shortage in the construction industry is stark. According to the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), London alone needs 40,500 new construction workers in order to meet a target of 169,000 homes by 2006.

    This includes 6,500 carpenters and joiners, 3,000 bricklayers, 2,500 painters and decorators, 1,000 plasterers, 1,500 roofers, 4,000 electricians and 3,500 plumbers.
