We’re helping construction firms solve one of their biggest challenges: the skills gap. One company leading the way in addressing this issue is Bellway Homes, who has partnered with us to develop a custom degree apprenticeship programme that’s making a real difference.
The Bellway Homes and Teesside University partnership
Bellway Homes identified a growing need for skilled engineers and quantity surveyors, and they turned to Teesside University for a tailored solution. Laura Bell, Head of Organisation Development, shared how our collaboration is enabling Bellway to cultivate their own talent: "We decided the best way forward was to grow our own talent, and that’s where Teesside University came in."
By launching a civil engineering degree apprenticeship programme, Bellway Homes is investing in the future of their workforce while directly addressing the critical skills gap in the construction industry.
A tailored approach: custom programmes for every business
