Training & Support

What are CITB-ConstructionSkills doing?

CITB-ConstructionSkills are producing a range of Fairness, Inclusion and Respect products and services to help you support your company. These will be released during 2012.

Initially, the National Construction College are commencing with two new courses on ‘Fairness, Inclusion and Respect’ which are available to book via the NCC online booking system.

We will be continually updating this page with information for employers and employees within the construction industry.
