Academy
KSD Group are fully committed to the support and development of young people in our community and are in partnership with Brighton Aldridge Community Academy which together formed The Aldridge KSD Construction Academy, a specialist academy at BACA College.
In July 2017 the Aldridge KSD Construction Academy received the ‘Academy Partnership Award’ at the Education Business Awards.
The academy is a unique collaboration between education and industry that provides a technical training centre for post-16 students pursuing careers in construction. As part of this academy, students are given the opportunity to graduate into an apprenticeship with KSD, which will provide them with the opportunity to enhance their skills development whilst earning a salary.
Nationally, and regionally, all indicators have shown a shortage in skilled workforce within the construction industry. KSD/BACA have developed the curriculum and learning programme together, ensuring the skills gap missing across the city are met, and establish a consortium of additional construction companies and organisations, who together with the support of the local authority, contribute to the discussion on training skills needs, and provide information on upcoming development and workforce deployment.
