Laing O'Rourke opens MMC training facility



Laing O’Rourke has opened a new MMC training facility in conjunction with Barnsley College and T3 Training & Development.


The construction firm claims the new facility is the first in the UK.

The new facility is part-funded by the Local Skills Improvement Fund (LSIF), and aims to provide people with the technical and digital skills required to assemble construction and engineering solutions that have been manufactured offsite — the facility will offer a Level 2 Apprenticeship in Construction Assembly installation.

Peter Lyons, director at Laing O'Rourke, said: “We are delighted to have partnered with Laing O’Rourke and T3 Training & Development to create the UK’s very first Modern Methods of Construction Training Centre of its type.

“This facility will no doubt equip students with the expertise needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving construction sector, lead the way on more sustainable methods of construction, and ensure they are prepared for the ambitious demands of the modern workforce.”
