The organisation has a strategy for mitigating the shortage of skilled construction workers, which includes:

• Working with schools and colleges to highlight to young people, particularly groups that are currently under-represented such as women and ethnic minorities, the benefits of working in construction and to encourage them to work in the industry
• Encouraging these institutions to run courses leading to relevant qualifications that are relevant to today's needs, including the Built Environment GCSE, should this be introduced, and to remove barriers to entry
• Taking advantage of government initiatives to address this issue, including funding for training opportunities and construction industry placements, both by recruiting people who have benefitted from the training schemes and by offering placements for people seeking to gain skills in this area
• Providing training to enable existing staff to keep up with evolving practices and new technologies
• Developing links with the nearest planned skills hub, which could be used both to improve the skills of the current workforce and as a source of potential new recruits
• Offering apprenticeships, ensuring that these include an effective training / learning element
• Making the provision of apprenticeships by developers a contractual requirement 
• Setting up or expanding training programmes to develop skills for the long term, including the possibility of setting up academies with other housing associations
• Making a long-term commitment to modern methods of construction, creating sustained demand for the product, supporting the viability of suppliers, enabling them to ramp up production, and boosting economies of scale.
