| Synopsis: |
Targeting potential local employment from major construction programmes is now recognized to be an important element of successful long-term regeneration. However, effective schemes for getting local labour into construction, and thus build local capacity, are difficult to establish in a fast-moving and fragmented industry. This report provides guidelines on what to do, how to do it and what it is possible to achieve. The book brings together the experience of 25 local initiatives, reflecting all types of construction, different contexts and a variety of approaches. It provides a range of options for targeting jobs and training opportunities, backed up by illustrations and examples of actual documents used. It also addresses the legal issues, and provides examples of codes and contract clauses used to achieve contractor involvement; looks at best practice in job-matching, training and small business development; considers cost and funding issues; provides illustrations of monitoring forms and provides bench marks for outcomes.The text should be useful for training and employment officers, development professionals and contractors in the public, private and voluntary sectors - particularly those working in areas where social inclusion is an issue. The report should also be of interest to anyone concerned with the use of construction and reg eneration initiatives as a means to combat social exclusion. Targeting potential local employment from major constructi on programmes is now recognized to be an important element of successful long-term regeneration. However, effective schemes for getting local labour into construction, and thus build local capacity, are difficult to establish in a fast-moving and fragmented industry. The report provides guidelines on what to do, how to do it and what it is possible to achieve. |
