Britons who have completed an electrician training course could benefit from new financing that will provide a boost to construction developments of new and affordable homes.
Housing minister John Healey announced today (March 8th) that some £83 million is to be set aside for the Kickstart fund and HomeBuy scheme to get 5,700 stalled projects back on track and help people find their first homes.
Commenting on the news, Mr Healey said: "I'm allocating £83 million to get 87 stalled developments across the country up and running again, creating 1,700 jobs and giving more than 2,200 first-time buyers the chance to take an affordable step onto the property ladder."
Those who receive funding will be obliged to provide employment opportunities to local workers, which could leave many tradespersons with approved electrical qualifications with improved job prospects.
The Kickstart Housing Delivery Programme was announced in the 2009 Budget and is currently on its second round of funding.
