The group is committed to promoting training activity to the construction industry and its wider membership is open to all Construction employers and associated industries who wish to participate in training. The group is committed to training in the following areas: Health & Safety, Apprenticeships, Craft Trades & Operatives and Management & Supervisory. Members are invited to complete Training & Development plans for their business on a yearly basis with ConstructionSkills so that training requirements can be delivered locally and training programmes are produced twice a year in Autumn/Winter and Spring containing as wide a variety of courses as is possible to deliver in the Highlands. The group also encourages member companies to highlight any individual training needs as this may result in the development of new training courses, we are also interested in promoting new training initiatives. The group is always looking to increase the provision of courses in the area and is committed every year to maintain 1,000 or more training days. The group recognises the value of industry/education links and is keen to become more involved. The group will be looking at the delivery of a new programme on Management & Leadership Development in the Highlands to assist companies to improve skill levels in the company and efficiency and effectiveness of the business productivity. Group members are committed to the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS), Construction Plant Competency Scheme (CPCS) and Scaffolding (CISRS) record schemes and are involved in the On Site Assessment & Training Programme with various training providers from the Highland area. There is now training provision available for on site assessment of SVQ Levels 3 and 4 in Construction Site Supervision and Management in the Highland area.
