The renewal of Dee Park estate in Reading continues to provide life-long career opportunities for local residents.
Willmott Dixon Partnerships managing director Mick Williamson gives his views on National Apprenticeship Week in Construction News. He says:
With National Apprenticeship Week (6th - 10th February) highlighting the importance of skills development, Willmott Dixon and Catalyst Housing believe their project to build 50 homes at Carlton Vale in Kilburn shows exactly how it’s possible to use construction to provide life-long skills.
Willmott Dixon has started 2012 with a major statement of its development intent by securing the £60 million residential element of a mixed-use regeneration scheme in Greenwich as part of a development agreement with the developers Cathedral Group Plc and Development Securities Plc.
With National Apprenticeship Week (6th to 10th February) highlighting skills development, Willmott Dixon announced it will open a new national training and development facility in Birmingham as part of the company’s ambition to invest in skills within the region.
As National Apprenticeship Week, 6th to 10th February, is launched, the flying start apprenticeships give young people’s careers is evident at the Dee Park estate in Reading. Dee Park is undergoing a major regeneration, led by Dee Park Partnership (DPP), a joint venture between Willmott Dixon and Catalyst Housing in partnership with Reading Borough Council.
