Alison Hume told ministers it clearly demonstrates what she called "the government's ambitious commitment" to training and apprenticeship.
Scarborough and Whitby's MP has welcomed a parliamentary bill which she thinks can help youngsters on the Yorkshire Coast.
Alison says she'd like to concentrate on the role that skills England will play in aligning apprenticeship opportunities with the needs of local economies:
Alison said she was excited to see the government is supporting a new development planned south of Cayton to start as soon as possible, which she says will provide 2,500 new homes.
She feels the people building those homes and infrastructure should be trained as far as possible locally, adding that the Construction Skills Village in Scarborough is already doing an incredible job, providing trainee, training for construction apprentices.
It currently has 140 apprentices on its books, providing training in plastering, carpentry, bricklaying and electrical work. They've also just run their first solar panel installation course. 60% of their learners come from an area amongst the most deprived in the country and a high number have additional educational needs, yet the record of their apprentices exceeds national outcomes.
The MP also added that the Yorkshire Coast could be well placed to provide staffing for offshore projects too:
