Construction Skills Conference

Designed to help employers attract, develop and retain the skills they require.

Hosted by Gloucestershire Construction Training Group with support from the CITB

We all know there’s a skills shortage in the construction sector. It’s time for businesses and educators to work together to develop practical solutions.

This event is an opportunity to do just that. With a mix of presentations and workshops, you can find out about initiatives already taking place, share your experiences and ideas and join in the debate. There will be a mix of sessions throughout the morning so you can focus on the topics that really matter to you.

All employers and educators working in the construction sector are invited to attend.
