Supercharging UK house building: NHBC Multi-Skill Training Hub for apprentices approved in Lichfield following £100M investment

Planning has been approved in Lichfield for a multi-skill apprenticeship training hub, which will shake up house-building training and tackle the construction skills shortage head-on. Part of a planned national network of multi-skill training facilities spearheaded by NHBC, the Lichfield hub is the first to receive planning permission.

The Lichfield Multi-Skill Training Hub, developed by the National House Building Council (NHBC), the UK’s leading new home warranty and insurance provider, will be funded in partnership with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), with land provided by Redrow Homes.

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example

Power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection.
