Regional Heritage Skills Action Groups
The five-year Skills Action Plan in the NHTG 2005 report for England is now being implemented through Regional Heritage Skills Action Groups. These are working to provide sustainable, flexible traditional building skills training and development to meet regional demand and to ensure best possible access to regional funding streams. The regional steering or coordinating groups have a standardised core comprising representatives from the built heritage sector, mainstream and specialist construction, FE colleges and other training providers and funding providers/facilitators.
The regional groups are now building on examples of best practice in different parts of the country to expand and develop traditional building skills and training capacity within their regions, using regional expertise to direct resources.
The NHTG is also developing a National Heritage Training Academy Framework linked to the Regional Heritage Skills Action Groups.
