The project supports the establishment of an employer-led training consortium that increases the capacity of ground working provision in the South (central) area of England. 

Eleven ground-working companies have created a consortium that will centrally coordinate the delivery of Civil Engineering Operation apprentices with additional plant training at a purpose built centre to make them fully work-ready as ground-workers when they finish their course. 

The project will develop volunteers from the workforce who are near the end of their careers, into trainers and assessors to deliver this additional training and upskill the existing workforce.

After the project, an employer training consortium in the South / Central area will have increased capacity to deliver training in plant operations and ground-working through newly created trainers and assessors, as well as a training infrastructure. this will continue to deliver skills for industry in this area after the funded period. The evidence base supporting a multi-skilled workforce will help others to adopt this way of working and add to industry knowledge in this area.

The project will design and implement a mentor-led trainee scheme that supports and compliments degree education and study in the workplace.

The purpose of this project is to standardise, plan and implement training schemes for trainees and graduate trainees in surveying and construction to standardize and implement recruitment in conjunction with local colleges and universities.

The project will develop a toolkit to attract, train and retain a suitably skilled workplace. The toolkit can be adapted and branded to meet the needs of the organisation. It will develop new frameworks and sustainable structures to enable members to effectively recruit train and retain a competent workforce now and in the future as a result developing career and progression pathways

The project will work with and enable NFB members to engage with schools to make students, their careers advisors and parents/guardians aware of the opportunities and benefits of a career within our industry.

This will be achieved through a virtual reality BIM model designed by young people to engage with young people and demonstrate how the industry is transforming to a digital environment.

The project will support 60 disabled adults across Scotland and England into employment in the construction industry through a programme of mentoring, structured training and work experience programme

The project will build capacity in the North West by adding onto the existing services the North West Contractors Training Group offers to its members. These services will deliver business improvement through a toolkit containing 12 modules. These 12 modules will be piloted through a series of workshops designed to support members in the delivery of this toolkit to their employees.

The project will deliver a radical approach to collaborative leadership based on existing and emerging global best practice models fit for this connected and potentially disruptive world. It will collaborate with key stakeholders to develop joint solutions on skills gaps, industry and societal challenges. The collaboration will result in a framework aligned to the challenges and opportunities facing the industry and its position in the wider society.

The project will pilot a Level 5 Accelerated Graduate Programme in Leadership & Management which has been developed and written specifically for the hire and rental sector.

Five modules will be contextualised: motivating people; making the financial case; customer relations; managing recruitment; effective leadership. 

The long term objective is to encourage graduates to choose a career in the hire and rental industry to negate the impact of an aging workforce and to maintain a sustainable industry.

At the end of the project, a suite of resources will have been created contextualising ILM L5 to the hire and construction sectors, and these will have been piloted with graduates from industry.

The project will design a programme to assess and to train over 900 engineers nationwide to support them in developing skills needed to be a property maintenance engineer.

After the project industry efficiency will be increased by reducing travel time and ensuring jobs are completed on a first visit basis. This will increase customer satisfaction.

The resources used to achieve this will be available for industry to use.

The project is based on Hire Association Europe’s objective to invest in new technologies and make training more readily accessible to a wider audience using innovative solutions including 360 degree video, 3D animation, Virtual and Augmented reality and Oculus Rift. 

Project delivery methods will include online, mobile, tablet and virtual reality.  Topics will cover all of the construction industries key areas.

After the project, the 12 modules will be released through HAE tool hire depots so that VR training inductions can be delivered to customers and logged on a learner management system. The 12 modules and their digital assets will also be published through HAE's 'Project pHAEton' which will create a content creation and learning platform as part of CITB's Immersive Learning commission.
