Nine interactive training modules have been developed to support employers and business owners through upskilling in leadership, business resilience and diversity.
Free resources to “create inclusive worksites and a construction and infrastructure sector that is better for everyone” are now available for trade employers.
These resources, which include a new podcast series, video series and interactive training modules for employers, are a joint initiative by Waihanga Ara Rau, the Workforce Development Council for Construction and Infrastructure, and BCITO Te Pukenga.
They are a response to a request from the construction and infrastructure industry to support employers and business owners through upskilling in leadership, business resilience and diversity.
