00:00In building the one and a half million houses that we've pledged, we're going to need skilled workers.
00:05There are good jobs to be had there and we want those to be available for British people
00:10rather than people coming in from overseas, which employers have tended to do a bit too much in the past.
00:16So the colleges we're announcing today will be one in each region.
00:20They will be really experts in construction training.
00:24They'll be able themselves to train 40,000 people over the next four years,
00:29but also to work with other colleges, with other training providers, with employers themselves
00:34to make sure that we've got the best expertise, the best teachers, the best equipment, best courses
00:40to be able to ensure that we're getting the skilled construction workers that we need to build those homes for the future.
