Construction Web actively promotes schemes which link training and jobs for local people to major construction projects. Everyone who is registered will receive Health and Safety Training and get a CSCS card before going on site and will be able to work towards achieving an NVQ award whilst in employment. We work with partners to establish and monitor new initiatives that deliver real jobs for local people.

What are NVQ's?
National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ's) prove you have met the standard of work expected in your industry.
There are five levels of NVQ:
Level 1: is a basic foundation - A range of work which are fairly routine.
Level 2: skilled tradesperson - A range of work activities, some of which are complicated and not routine, plus some responsibility for working individually or with others as part of a team.
Level 3: skilled craftsperson - a wide range of work activities, most of which are complicated and not routine. A lot of responsibility, working individually, and perhaps also controlling or guiding the work of other people.
Level 4 & 5: managerial and professional - A wide range of complicated technical or professional work activities. A great deal of responsibility for own work, and often for giving out resources. Working out designs, planning, carrying out and checking own and other peoples work.
Construction's a massive industry with thousands of job opportunities. And, with a huge number of training programmes a career in one of Britain's largest industries is always varied and challenging.
