Onsite Experience hubs - England

Between 2021 and 2025 we aim to increase England’s construction talent pool through Onsite Experience hubs, creating a talent pipeline to meet the needs of local construction employers and enabling construction career opportunities for people from local communities. £8.4m of funding has been approved to enable over 7,900 people to become employment and site-ready and at least 2,950 people to secure sustained employment within the next four years.

This commission targets Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) areas that have not benefited from the Government’s Construction Skills Fund.

What Onsite Experience hubs deliver for the construction industry 

Onsite Experience hubs are designed to provide a one-stop recruitment solution for construction employers. By linking together employers, training providers, local authorities, LEPs, community agencies and other partners, hubs enable the development of employment and site-ready people from local communities. These well-suited candidates can then be linked to employers’ vacancies, and because they have gained some initial experience on construction sites, often with the recruiting employer, and have the necessary introductory training and health & safety credentials, they can be productive immediately.

Contacting your local Onsite Experience hub 

Whether you are an employer seeking site-ready candidates to fill your vacancies, or an individual looking for a career in construction, your local CITB Onsite Experience hub can provide you with support and advice.
