Collingwood Dock. A demanda por trabalhadores da construção qualificada em Liverpool será maior do que nunca. O local do Liverpool Waters, que consistirá em três áreas separadas, duas das quais serão usadas para o espaço de ensino, com o terceiro usado para o bem -estar e o escritório. Além disso, o hub oferecerá a oportunidade para os estudantes universitários receberem treinamento prático e pronto para o local em um ambiente real do local de construção. O projeto também fornecerá oportunidades de provas para as pessoas em indústrias em declínio e em grupos sub-representados no setor para promover a construção como uma opção de carreira. Isso inclui acesso ao treinamento pronto para o local, cartões CSCS e credenciamento de gás da ACS.

Portanto, é certo que estamos colocando nossos alunos no coração de um dos maiores esquemas de regeneração e desenvolvimento da Europa. As águas do Liverpool, disseram:
The college will be working in partnership with Liverpool Waters, Peel Land and Property’s £5 billion waterfront development scheme, to bring the hub to the currently disused Collingwood Dock.
The Liverpool Waters project includes the development of numerous residential, commercial and leisure facilities across five distinct neighbourhoods, starting at Princes Dock and travelling north to Northern Docks.
With the creation of 9,000 homes, 315,000 sq.m of business space, a Cruise Liner Terminal, an Isle of Man Ferry Terminal and an accompanying hotel, the demand for skilled construction workers in Liverpool will be greater than ever.
By working together, The City of Liverpool College and Liverpool Waters will cater to this demand by providing unemployed adults and young people not in education or training (NEET) with work ready skills to enter jobs within Liverpool’s growing construction industry.
Work is now underway to create the portable facility at Collingwood Dock, part of the Liverpool Waters site, which will consist of three separate areas, two of which will be used for teaching space, with the third used for welfare and office space. In addition, the hub will provide the opportunity for college students to receive practical, work ready site-specific training in a real construction site environment.
The Hub will be open to unemployed people and young people who are NEET seeking a job in construction. The project will also provide taster opportunities to people in declining industries and in under-represented groups in the sector to promote construction as a career option.
Learners will have access to skills training to make them work ready for the construction industry. This includes access to site ready training, CSCS cards and ACS Gas Accreditation. The Hub will also provide a gateway to construction qualifications and at all levels and apprenticeships up to degree level.
Employers working with the Hub will have direct access to the college’s extensive work ready and motivated talent pool to support their recruitment needs.
Elaine Bowker, principal at the City of Liverpool College, said:
“The City of Liverpool College is the college for business, so it’s only right that we are putting our learners at the very heart of one of Europe’s largest regeneration and development schemes.
“Having this construction hub on Collingwood Dock means that a City of Liverpool College facility will be sitting amongst some of the city region’s largest and most ambitious construction projects, each of which will require a talented and eager workforce.”
Ian Pollitt, assistant project director at Liverpool Waters, said:
“Nosso objetivo sempre foi criar um legado real e significativo, que oferece um ambiente de trabalho fantástico para os jovens da região da cidade, bem como um local à beira -mar em que as pessoas gostam de viver e trabalhar.
““ Estamos constantemente encontrando novas maneiras de trabalhar com a City of Liverpool College, para garantir que nosso objetivo compartilhado de treinamento e desenvolvimento das habilidades da força de trabalho de amanhã esteja na vanguarda de todos os nossos parceiros. ”
