The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) announced a significant investment in the National Construction College (NCC) at Erith and other NCC sites. This investment will create substantial value for the construction industry through an expanded training offer, outstanding teaching, learning, and support, as well as beacon leadership across the wider training sector. The investment also includes new programmes and pathways developed in line with industry needs, making NCC a provider of choice for large-scale infrastructure projects. The redevelopment work at Erith is already underway with a capital investment approved by the Board of Trustees. Erith's investment for this year is £11 million, and CITB will invest a total of £30 million over the next three years (2025-28) at the site. The programme has been meticulously planned to ensure training can continue as usual throughout the development. Contractors appointed through Crown Commercial Services (CCS) demolished the decommissioned buildings in April 2025. The project includes new training facilities and the installation of advanced technology to support the College's growth and sustainability objectives. The investment also includes new programmes and pathways developed in line with industry needs, making NCC a provider of choice for large-scale infrastructure projects. Including the Erith site, CITB are investing over £15m in the NCC estate for 2025-26, with sustainability at the heart of the improvements. This includes expanding training provision across the College's three sites, as well as increasing the range and volume of apprenticeship and commercial training opportunities available. The National Construction College will continue to support industry by delivering an expanded range of quality apprenticeships and other training programmes in areas of greatest need. This investment ensures that NCC remains at the forefront of construction skills training, supporting the industry's growth and development.
