The UK's construction industry is facing a significant challenge: it's expected to require over 250,000 additional workers by 2028.
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has launched Go Construct Careers, a innovative online platform designed to connect jobseekers, employers, and educators, and help grow the future workforce.
So, what is Go Construct Careers?
Go Construct Careers is a free-to-use digital platform for anyone interested in a career in construction. Whether you're just starting out, changing careers, or training others, Go Construct provides access to job opportunities, resources, and real-life stories from across the industry.
If you're an employer looking to recruit, creating a free company profile on Go Construct Careers can help you in several ways. You can advertise vacancies to a wide network of jobseekers at no cost, promote your training courses and early careers opportunities, connect with new entrants, colleges, and CITB's New Entrant Support Team, use free recruitment templates and tools to make hiring easier, and showcase your company alongside some of the biggest firms in construction.
For those interested in joining the industry, Go Construct Careers offers a way to search and apply for jobs across England, Scotland, and Wales, the option to upload CVs and create a professional profile, case studies highlighting the diversity and range of roles in construction, and information on apprenticeships, work experience, T-Levels, and graduate programmes.
Educators and training providers can also access tools to support their students, including verifying CSCS cards and exploring different career pathways.
