Best Construction Industry Training Provider — Winner: Learning Skills Partnership

Learning Skills Partnership has been named the Best Construction Industry Training Provider for 2025, recognised for their transformative impact on workforce development, their innovative training delivery, and their commitment to shaping the future talent pipeline for the UK construction sector.

Why They Won

Learning Skills Partnership (LSP) stood out for their ability to bridge the skills gap with training that is not only highly effective, but deeply aligned with employer needs, industry standards, and the realities of modern construction. Unlike conventional training providers, LSP is embedded directly within the industry; they collaborate closely with contractors, developers, specialists, and local authorities to deliver workforce programmes that deliver real results on site.

Their approach places learners at the centre — with tailored apprenticeships, personalised support, and cutting-edge digital learning tools that make training accessible, engaging, and relevant. This has helped thousands of individuals progress from entry-level roles into long-term careers across surveying, construction management, trades, and technical disciplines.

Judges praised LSP for their measurable outcomes, including outstanding retention rates, high achievement scores, and a proven track record of converting apprentices into fully qualified, confident construction professionals. Their focus on quality, wellbeing, employability, and progression elevates the standard for training provision across the UK.

Their work directly supports UK construction’s biggest challenges, from closing the skills gap to accelerating housing delivery, infrastructure growth, and sustainability goals.

By investing deeply in people, championing professional progression, and setting new standards for training excellence, Learning Skills Partnership has rightly earned its place as this year’s Best Construction Industry Training Provider.
