National Heritage Training Group Skills Needs Analysis Reports:

Two new NHTG reports were launched at the ICOMOS Conference on Training and Education on the 29th April 2008:

• Traditional Building Craft Skills in England: 2008 Review

The reports outline the findings of research into the current situation of traditional building craft skills in England and built heritage professionals in the UK and proposals for the way forward.

Both reports contain detailed action plans, to be delivered in partnership with all those who have a vested long-term interest in improving the skills and knowledge of the conservation, repair and maintenance sector workforce.

For more information, the press release for the launch can be found at:
