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 ‘right first time’ behaviours at operational level of organisations. 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 from 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.

The project will deliver the CITB's Achieving Behavioural Change (ABC) programme. This essential programme:

• covers legal duties of employers and employees
• defines hazards, risks and control measures
• lists possible causes of accidents
• helps employees understand the link between attitude and behaviour, the costs of poor safety performance, the benefits of good safety performance and how to put ABC into practice.

After the end of the project, workers in the Manchester airport Group Estate will have achieved the training and will have the skill-sets to improve safety in the working environment.

The project will develop a network of Centres of Excellence across the UK to support training in Joinery, Shop-fitting and Interior Contracting  using new apprenticeship standards as the bedrock Using this network  to ensure all units can be offered and ensuring curriculums are up to date and standardised by providing ‘bolt-on’ modules.

After the project more wood workers will have the skills to operate CNC machinery, and the capacity for further people to upskill will be increased through the network of centres of excellence.

The project will build individual, organisational and industry knowledge of Fairness, Inclusion and Respect (FIR) in the workplace. This product can also be used as a catalyst to achieve cultural change. This will be achieved through the development of FIR training resources, upskilling of FIR ambassadors, managing a network of training and delivery workshops, building a sustainable funding model which will support the continuation of this project when the funding period ends.

The project will further develop an employer toolkit which will result in the creation of an inclusive and diverse workforce. Leaders and Managers from main contractors and their supply chains will receive the training and development to embed FIR principles into their project delivery and workforce management strategies.

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 improve the knowledge and capacity of school teachers and Post 16 tutors in built environment subjects to teach Building Information Modelling (BIM). BIM4Education will coordinate Centre of Excellence hubs linked to DEC& BIM accreditation. Employers, Educational Professionals and Learners will work together to explore solutions to built environment, civil & design problems.

This project will develop and deliver a pathway, transferable across the sector, for career changers to enter the construction industry. As part of the project - 20 women will achieve a L2/3 qualification in the specified trades; A comprehensive Best Practice Guide will be produced; 50 mentors will be trained, including 10 achieving a higher level qualification (train the trainer); A minimum of 10 different companies will received 'Unconscious Bias' training, with feedback as to how this has changed their perceptions; A minimum of 10 different companies will receive  'Agile' training, with feedback as to how this has changed their perceptions.

The project will encourage more women to consider construction as a positive career choice by increasing employment of social housing tenants and those from the local community.

This employment will be created in the social housing or building maintenance sector.

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.
