The Hidden Costs of Skills Gaps 🛠️ For industries like construction, low literacy levels increase the risk of accidents and reduce productivity. With 9 million adults in the UK lacking basic literacy or numeracy skills, the economic impact is massive, costing around £80 billion annually! Let’s bridge this gap with effective skills training, combined with CSCS training, at Eden Training Academy. Together, we can build a safer, more productive future for the construction industry. 🏗️💼 #Construction #SkillsForSafety #NumeracyMatters #CSCS

#JCTCONTRACTS #faqs Q – I am looking for a Cost Plus type of contract. Which is the most suitable contact to use?

If your CSCS card gained via Industry Accreditation expired on the 31st of December 2024 there is still time to transition onto a new card. Last year the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) announced a one-year extension of funding to support the CSCS in transitioning all Industry Accreditation (IA) cardholders to recognised qualifications.   Those affected by the changes to IA DO NOT need to attend college to get their new qualification. Enhanced grants are available to CITB-registered employers for specific qualifications achieved until 31 March 2026.    To support construction workers’ transition from an IA card to a qualification, CITB have increased the grant for specific supervision NVQ Diplomas/SVQs to £1,250 and specific management NVQ Diplomas/SVQs to £1,500. You can read more about how to claim these grants on the CITB website - https://lnkd.in/eYQPiK4S When you are registered for an approved construction related NVQ/SVQ level 2, SVQ at SCQF level 5 or higher for you can apply for an Experienced Worker card which is valid for one year.

If you are a CITB levy payer, you can now get most of or the total cost of your NVQ training covered by CITB grants! With this increased funding, it’s now more affordable to gain the necessary skills and qualifications to succeed in the construction industry. ATS Group offers a full range of NVQ assessments that you can claim funding for, including Construction Trade Occupations, Plant Operations and Lifting Operations NVQs from Levels 2 to 6.
