The project will pilot digital skills development for small building and construction companies (employing up to 20 people) delivering skills to compete and run businesses in a digital environment.

Knowledge improvements in: online promotion; developing online reputation; generating sales; winning new contracts; economical back-office processes; increase in online transactions; cyber security; increasing brand awareness.

After the project, 50 SMEs will be able to implement use of simple digital technologies in their business, making efficiencies and productivity gains. Training materials will be freely available to industry.

The project will increase the uptake of heritage training within Wales, increasing the number of qualifications delivered and increasing awareness of the heritage sector within the construction industry.

Funding will be used to set up a new assessment centre where assessors for asbestos control and abatement will be trained. A key outcome of the project will be to strengthen the assessment infrastructure across GB in relation to asbestos control and abatement.

Funding will be used to set up a new assessment centre where assessors for brickwork will be trained. A key outcome of the project will be to strengthen the assessment infrastructure across GB in relation to brickwork.

The project will build networks of employers in the Home Building supply chain and promote collaboration between home builders, sub-contractors and the supply chain.

It will identify training needs of those that are less engaged in training, and influence the dis-engaged to increase their level of training and therefore increasing their engagement with CITB.

Having identified training needs, a series of short-duration off-job training interventions will be delivered to meet the supply chain needs.

The project will develop an introductory 1-day course and Specialist Accredited Programme in structural waterproofing.

Courses will be developed, piloted and added to the PCA portfolio and promoted to membership and wider industry to raise awareness of the course and ensure take-up.

The project will develop and pilot an e-learning Lean Development Pathway which will include a self-assessment, a number of videos and an online portfolio function. 20 organisations will set up cohorts whose objective is to solve problems in the workplace. The project will include “train the trainer” workshops and mentoring. The Supply Chain School portal will host and promote developed content.

The project is a pilot to train construction workers on the ‘Assured Performance Process’, a methodology produced by the National Energy Foundation.

Modules will be developed in: Induction for Assured Performance Process sites, delivering performance onsite fabrics trades; delivering performance onsite services trades, site management for assured energy performance.

This will develop into a training programme which can be used to train construction workers on other Assured Performance Process projects.

The project will develop a programme to accredit organisations in the British Standards Institution ISO18404 for Lean Construction. 

One organisation will receive the accreditation and a best practice case study will be developed to support other employers through the process.

After the project, one employer will become accredited in the ISO Lean Construction standard. Another will have undertaken training so they have the ability to do so. The guidance and training materials used to achieve this will be made available to industry so that other employers can go on the same journey and achieve accreditation.

The project will increase productivity by reducing the errors and defects that cause rework. Modules and e-learning will be developed and piloted that will deliver collaborative planning processes at design interface of projects. To make the project scalable, set of train the trainer resources will be produced.

Research will identify and recommend ways of measuring the rate errors and defects. This will help to set out an industry baseline to measure any future impact on productivity.

After the project, the course modules and teaching resources will be made freely available to industry and be eligible for short-duration grant funding. Guidance on how to implement the training with their partner modules for the other two 'Get it right' projects to deliver change on a project or in an organisation. Guidance will explain how to deliver training, when and with which roles.
