Where the availability of skilled labour is currently, or expected to become, tight, the organisation has considered introducing training schemes and apprenticeships, possibly working in partnership with house builders, with a view to increasing relevant skills among the local population.  For large schemes, the organisation has considered taking the approach used by Bristol City Council, where an academy is established on a live development site.  The organisation's approach also takes into account the additional £600million of funding to train 60,000 additional construction workers by 2029, announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in March 2025.
