The Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded £900,000 to a partnership between English Heritage, The National Trust, Cadw, ConstructionSkills and the National Heritage Training Group to establish and deliver a £1.2 million Traditional Building Skills Bursary Scheme throughout England and Wales over the next 4 years until 2010.

The scheme will address some of the currently recognised skills shortages and gaps within the traditional crafts and built heritage sector and to build diversity in the workforce.

The scheme offers to provide bursaries and facilitate work-based training placements (Bursary Placements) for eligible and successful applicants, who are enthusiastic and committed to developing their skills in order to work in the built heritage sector in England and Wales.
