Being a Sector Skills Council

constuctionarium

In 2003, we were given a licence to operate as a Sector Skills Council. We set up a partnership between CITB-Northern Ireland and the Construction Industry Council, so that we could deliver value across the industry, from the trades to professional sectors.

We work to:

  • reduce skills shortages
  • improve business performance
  • bring a diverse range of people into the industry
  • improve learning for apprenticeships, higher and further education
  • develop professional occupational standards

We have undergone a stringent government process to renew our Sector Skills Council licence. This process was completed in November 2009 and full details are available on the UKCES website.

ConstructionSkills is a member of the Built Environment Skills Alliance (BESA) which exists to be the strategic voice on the collective and shared skills agenda across the built environment Visit http://www.besa-uk.org.uk/
