The countdown to SkillBuild 2024 is on, with just three weeks to go! ⏰

We're busy preparing to host students and apprentices from across the north of England, southern Scotland and Northern Ireland for the regional heat of the UK’s largest and longest-running construction skills competition, delivered by @CITB.

Almost 70 competitors from 18 colleges and training providers will join us on campus to show off their technical skills and compete to be named the best in bricklaying, carpentry, joinery, painting and decorating, plastering, or roof slating and tiling.

@Scott Bullock Principal of Newcastle College said: “Skills competitions like SkillBuild are fantastic opportunities for learners to gain work experience and improve their employability skills by testing their knowledge and skills against national and international standards, under competitive pressures.

“We are so pleased to be hosting this year’s regional qualifier and I am looking forward to welcoming skilled competitors from across the North to our campus and seeing their talent on display.”
