“DEC is one of the only educational pathways that prepares and educates students with the right skills at an early enough stage. It builds a pipeline of talent that we so desperately need to bridge the skills gaps and produce the construction leaders of the future that will build our desperately needed infrastructure. A number of our NHP scheme contractors and professional services providers have adopted DEC schools in an attempt to nurture the future pipeline of talent we desperately need in the industry to build the hospitals of the future.”
