Developed in partnership with key contractors, who are all SMEs, the Breakfast Club will deliver eight bespoke interactive training and personal development sessions for 48 new industry entrants (4 cohorts of 12) over a 15-month period. 

Running concurrently as a controlled programme alongside the regular intake of new employees, the project will deliver evidence-based comparisons as to the benefit of the bespoke additional interventions for the retention of new entrants.

The programme will create a publically shared rubric built on VINCI best practices for the industry to use to upskill their job families in BIM. This is in response to the ambitious 2025 Construction Strategy which aims to achieve 33% reductions in costs and a 50% increase in efficiency through full BIM integration.

After the project, 14 short-duration e-learning modules will be freely available to use by industry. BIM ambassadors will be upskilled to champion the use of BIM in construction roles and promote the modules. A BIM framework will be developed that will go on to inform CITB activity in identifying and standardising digital competencies.

Build the skills capacity of the lead contracting sector by creating new on-site assessors and delivering vocational qualifications to address the skills shortage.

The project will train in-house NVQ Assessors to assess employees within their own organisation in five key trades. Fineline Carpentry will pilot this approach and seek to encourage other employers to join and repeat this approach. It will initially address these issues for the consortium members. The intention is to develop the model and extend its usage to Plymouth, Devon and South West.

The project will design and implement a mentor-led trainee scheme that supports and compliments degree education and study in the workplace.

The purpose of this project is to standardise, plan and implement training schemes for trainees and graduate trainees in surveying and construction to standardize and implement recruitment in conjunction with local colleges and universities.

The project will work with and enable NFB members to engage with schools to make students, their careers advisors and parents/guardians aware of the opportunities and benefits of a career within our industry.

This will be achieved through a virtual reality BIM model designed by young people to engage with young people and demonstrate how the industry is transforming to a digital environment.

The project will support 60 disabled adults across Scotland and England into employment in the construction industry through a programme of mentoring, structured training and work experience programme

The project will build capacity in the North West by adding onto the existing services the North West Contractors Training Group offers to its members. These services will deliver business improvement through a toolkit containing 12 modules. These 12 modules will be piloted through a series of workshops designed to support members in the delivery of this toolkit to their employees.

The project will deliver a radical approach to collaborative leadership based on existing and emerging global best practice models fit for this connected and potentially disruptive world. It will collaborate with key stakeholders to develop joint solutions on skills gaps, industry and societal challenges. The collaboration will result in a framework aligned to the challenges and opportunities facing the industry and its position in the wider society.

The project will design a programme to assess and to train over 900 engineers nationwide to support them in developing skills needed to be a property maintenance engineer.

After the project industry efficiency will be increased by reducing travel time and ensuring jobs are completed on a first visit basis. This will increase customer satisfaction.

The resources used to achieve this will be available for industry to use.
