NOCN Group (www.nocn.org.uk) have today announced a funding initiative for the Cross Industry Construction Apprenticeship Task Force (CCATF). The agreement provides underpinning funding for all CCATF related activities and members engagement practices.
Speaking about the funding award, NOCN Chief Executive, Graham Hasting Evans commented “Our long standing relationship with CCATF both as a member and supporter of their activities means this agreement is something of a natural step forward. NOCN have a comprehensive, successful suite of services offered to and delivered in the construction sector including our Site rite product.
Mr Hasting Evans continued “by supporting the CCATF we are empowering wider employer engagement with young people, apprentices and other individuals and supporting the much needed talent pipeline in the sector.
In response Martyn Price, MBE, Chair of the CCATF commented, “We are of course delighted that NOCN have been generous and agreed to support the work we do. Our primary aim is to work with employers and other stakeholders to increase the take up of apprenticeships within the construction sector. This support contribution from NOCN allows us to develop better links and associations with sector based employers; which in turn leads to greater levels of uptake and starts for apprentices”
The funding agreement covers 2022 and 2023.
