• A New Digital Gateway Into Construction

The Construction Industry Training Board has launched Go Construct Careers, an online platform designed to connect construction employers with the next generation of skilled workers.

The upgraded portal will serve as a central hub for job vacancies, apprenticeships and entry-level opportunities across England, Scotland and Wales.

Go Construct Careers (GCC) is a free-to-use feature within the existing Go Construct website and is tailored to support individuals at every stage, whether they’re entering the industry for the first time, interested in learning new skills or switching careers. The platform enables users to create profiles, upload CVs, search and apply for roles and get discovered by employers actively seeking new talent.

For employers

For employers, GCC offers a streamlined way to advertise vacancies, build talent pools and promote events such as career fairs and competitions. It also supports training providers and educators by offering tools to help students explore construction careers and check CSCS cards.

GCC is designed to be inclusive and accessible, with case studies and content that reflect the full spectrum of people working in the industry. It aims to attract young people, career changers and individuals from underrepresented backgrounds, helping the industry to attract a broader range of people into the industry.

Responding to needs

Stephen Carter-Saunders, the product developer (Careers) at CITB, says: “Go Construct Careers is a direct response to what the sector told us was needed – clearer pathways into construction and tools to help individuals take the next step with confidence, either through applying for new entrant opportunities or being discovered by potential employers.

“Prospective new entrants can see the breadth of opportunity in the industry via GCC. It is designed to meet employers and prospective employees where they are and provide guidance.”
