Project summary:

This project aims to take the learnings and experiences of delivering the highly successful CITB funded BuildForce and adapt the model to create new and better pathways for all five cohorts.

However, this project will differ from BuildForce in that it will access unique software that will semantically link data from the supply side of all five cohorts and from the demand side of the construction industry (labour forecasts) in a way that creates the pathways for beneficiaries to achieve work related outcomes.

Expected output:

400 beneficiaries engaged
150 industry Ambassadors/Mentors signed up
150 beneficiaries provided with flexible support package
75 Work Placements
50 Job Starts
20 Sustained Employment Opportunities (more than 6 months)
Raise awareness to a minimum of 50 companies (25 SMEs)
