Inclusive apprenticeships and training programmes are essential for improving workforce diversity in construction, but barriers still prevent underrepresented groups from entering and completing their training. Employers must collaborate with schools, colleges, and communities to create accessible pathways, provide strong support mechanisms, and ensure apprentices feel valued within their teams. By expanding outreach efforts, adopting best practices from successful initiatives, and diversifying leadership pipelines, businesses can foster a more inclusive and equitable industry.
