Bricklayer and carpenter training will play a key role in 120,000 new apprentices funded as part of the government's £3 billion budget.
Medical assistance workers will form part of the scheme and add 30,000 extra apprentices across the council, the education department said. 
The move aims to increase the supply of skilled workers needed to build 1.5 million homes over the next five years, as Labour has pledged.
The government's £3 billion apprentice budget includes:
Funding for 14 million adult skills for construction for construction will be entrusted to the local mayor for the next grade, and is expected to expand 10 technical excellence colleges specializing in construction skills, opening in September 2025, in order to support up to 5,000 additional adult learners over four years and expand their construction skills.
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson (pictured) said: “A skilled workforce is key to moving the economy forward, and today we support the next generation by giving young people the opportunity to learn trade, earn wages, achieve and thrive.
“But everyone has a role to play in a prosperous economy, and we take our responsibility seriously to provide more routes to employment. Now it's the responsibility of young people to bring them along.”
The department says that some of the costs of these measures will be met by a 32% increase in immigration skills fees.
The fee, currently set at £1,000 per year for medium and large businesses, is paid by businesses to sponsor various foreign employees under skilled workers visas.
The changes are part of the immigration whitepaper published earlier this month.
In March, Prime Minister Rachel Reeves said plans for workers to train 60,000 brickmakers, electricians and carpenters over four years would cost £600 million.
