The construction business is growing at its fastest rate since 2004 and is the largest industry in Britain, employing more than two million people. The market is buoyant but there is a huge problem: there simply are not enough people with the right skills to maintain the growth of the industry. Last week Shropshire took two major steps in the right direction. Two new centres opened in the county, specifically to train people for a construction industry which is facing a crisis, with too few specialists - from architects to carpenters - to plug the jobs gap. Wrekin Construction opened its new, purpose-designed and -built training centre at the company's headquarters in Shifnal, offering trainees a wider range of career options. And Telford Construction Centre also opened its doors on Friday, giving youngsters the opportunity to train both in the classroom and in an on-site environment.
Papar: Construction work at the General Operations Force (GOF) headquarters at Kinarut, here, will resume January next year, said Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Mohd Johari Baharum. Mohd Johari said Masenang Sdn Bhd, previously a sub-contractor in the project standstill, had been appointed by the Government as the main contractor. "Masenang was chosen to finish the project as it had been involved in the project from the beginning and they knew about the work well," he said to reporters at the project's site office, Monday. According to Mohd Johari, the RM215 million project, which is now 38 per cent complete, will be completed in 18 months. He said the project now requires RM120 million, which should be enough to see to its completion in early 2008. "The amount could run off a bit because we don't know exactly what is at the site," he said, adding a total of RM78 million had been paid off to the original main contractor before its service was terminated.
WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - The war in Iraq has killed at least 647 civilian contractors to date, according to official figures that provide a stark reminder of the huge role of civilians in supporting the U.S. military.
The contractor death toll is tracked by the U.S. Department of Labor on the basis of claims under an insurance policy, the Defense Base Act, that all U.S. government contractors and subcontractors working outside the United States must take out for their civilian employees.
In response to questions from Reuters, a Labor Department spokesman said there had been 647 claims for death benefits between March 1, 2003, and Sept. 30, 2006. The Defense Base Act covers both Americans and foreigners, and there is no breakdown of the nationalities of those killed.
