It is estimated that in 2012, 310,000 people will be working in
construction's specialist trades and it's sure to keep
growing. That's why CITB-ConstructionSkills set up the
National Specialist Team (NST). Working closely with federations,
trade associations and the kinds of employers you could be working
with in the future, they develop training to help different
construction sectors find the right talent for their unique needs.
The kind of master craftspeople who are trained to operate high
value, high-tech equipment or have the skills to help create state
of-the-art buildings. That could be you.
