Project summary

The purpose of the CECA Scotland Academy is to create an entry level pathway into the civil engineering sector, providing contextualised learning and underpinning knowledge which can then be applied and transferred into the workplace. CECA Scotland employers will participate in the Academy to offer interviews for available job opportunities.

Civil Engineering Operatives Course is an 18-week programme for Civil Engineering Operatives at SCQF level 5. It is 70% or more practical delivery, outside on site. The units were chosen by a working group of CECA Scotland members, and it provides an SQA qualification to all successful candidates.

Expected output

Up to 1,000 new entrants engage with the course and receive guaranteed job interviews from CECA employers when they graduate from the 18 week course.
