The Civil Workforce Forum is an initiative to explore the workforce needs of the civil construction industry, as well as how the industry can bring new people on board and help them develop the skills they need on the path to becoming a skilled civil tradesperson.

The Civil Workforce Forum project

Established by Civil Contractors New Zealand and supported by the Ministry of Social Development and Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, the Civil Workforce Forum provides an avenue for NZ's civil construction companies to discuss and evolve the pathways to employment for people looking to join the industry.

The Forum will initially focus on how the industry gets people to the start line in their civil construction careers and help them get the skills they need to start work, whether this be through ‘industry induction’ or pre-trades training.

The initial project will last six months, from April to September 2021. Read the details below, or more information and to get involved, contact CCNZ Communications Manager Fraser May.
