Construction East and CTEC Announce Strategic Partnership to Strengthen Regional Skills

Construction East is pleased to announce the formation of a new strategic partnership with CTEC (Construction Technical Excellence College), following a meeting between Trustees and CTEC Directors.

The partnership represents a significant step forward in addressing the construction sector’s growing need for a skilled and future-ready workforce across the region. By working collaboratively, both organisations will focus on enhancing training provision, supporting learners, and creating stronger links between education and industry.

This joint commitment brings together Construction East’s industry insight and employer network with CTEC’s expertise in delivering high-quality technical education. The partnership will aim to develop innovative training pathways, promote technical excellence, and ensure that learners are equipped with the skills needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving construction landscape.

Trustees highlighted the importance of collaboration in tackling the sector’s skills challenges, particularly as demand continues to rise for qualified professionals at all levels. By aligning efforts, Construction East and CTEC will support employers, inspire new entrants into the industry, and contribute to long-term economic growth in the region.

Further updates on initiatives and programmes developed through this partnership will be shared in the coming months.
