in Modern Methods of Construction


Construction is a major sector of the UK economy. It generates almost £90 billion annually (6.7% of GDP) and employs in excess of 2.93 million people, the equivalent of about 10% of UK employment (BIS).

Many construction workers are retiring, and the rate of retirement looks set to increase as 22% of the workforce are over 50, and 15% are in their 60s. With an ageing workforce, demand for skilled construction professionals continues to grow.

Modern methods of construction

Modern construction methods allow parts of a build to be designed, planned, manufactured and pre-assembled offsite in a factory setting.
Many construction companies are increasingly using modern construction methods. These can range from thousands of precast components to smaller elements such as bathroom pods, prison cells and education facilities.

We work in partnership with many leading construction companies who are embracing new technologies to deliver skills development in high level building services engineering, civil engineering, construction design and building information modelling.

Our high-quality construction programmes meet the needs of an evolving industry, which excitingly includes industry-led technical education programmes and advanced Apprenticeships to include Virtual Reality, digital technology and modern methods of construction.

£6.8bn

Skill shortage is costing UK companies £6.8bn a year.

300,000

The Government is committed to building 300,000  new homes a year by the mid-2020s.

1 in 10

young people would consider a career in construction.

of construction workers either ‘love’ or ‘really like’ their jobs.

Average salary in the construction industry rose 8.5% between 2018 and 2019.

Over 30% of UK construction workers are over 50.

The construction industry will need 200,000 new recruits by 2020.

We work with hundreds of employers

“High quality training is key to unlocking people’s potential and helping them get on in life. Wolverhampton Homes is delighted that young people and adults in our area will have access to the new Black Country & Marches Institute of Technology to help them develop the technical skills that local employers like us really value.”

Julie Haydon, Assistant Director of Corporate Services, Wolverhampton Homes

“We offer our full support to the new Black Country & Marches Institute of Technology. We have worked with Dudley College of Technology for a number of
years and have built a strong relationship with the college. As well as being our Apprenticeship provider, we also work with Dudley College to deliver our Technical Training upskilling programmes, sending hundreds of staff there each year.”

Harriet Bone, Tesco Maintenance

“AMG welcomes the Institute of Technology to the Black Country Region and can see it having a huge positive influence in assisting with the upskilling of existing staff and encouraging new apprentices to the industry.”

Arthur Griffiths, AMG Group

“With construction technologies constantly evolving, the future of our industry depends on institutions like the IoT to provide students with the much-needed,
higher level technical skills to bridge the skills gap and continue to develop new and exciting innovations.”

Adrian Speller, Speller Metcalfe.

“As the workplace continues to undergo a digital transformation, how we automate tasks and use data has the potential to transform our
lives, from cutting carbon to bringing about significant efficiencies. The Institute of Technology (IoT) will provide students of all ages with the academic and professional know-how employers need and value, by offering higher level training in the technologies of the future combined with hands-on experience.”
