The Skills Frameworks have been developed with our members and associated Trade Federations and are available for use. CITB are continuously updating standards which will be added to the frameworks once available.
What are the Skills Frameworks?
The Home Building Skills Partnership, and members from its skills and development group and input from associated Trade Federations, have created a series of minimum skills frameworks to help employers ensure employees are trained to a standard that equips them with the skills they need to perform their roles effectively.
These frameworks illustrate key competencies and training modules specifically for the home building sector that should be completed by employees.
What roles have frameworks?
The skills frameworks have been developed against key roles that are currently experiencing challenges either through skills gaps, skills shortages or both.
How does it work?
Once you choose a role below, the skills framework will provide you with a list of competencies needed to perform that role effectively. Each competency will provide the unit of training needed and the CITB standard it complies with.
How can these Frameworks benefit my organisation?
These skill frameworks support a compentent workforce and can make a difference in creating a positive shift in culture and behaviour at all levels of the home building sector. A compentent workforce helps to:
- Increase quality and productivity in your workforce
- Retain staff and create a positive working environment
- Support individuals learn and acquire new skills
- Lower unexpected maintenance costs and repairs
- Increase the reputation of the house building sector
The Skills Partnership is here to support you and your employees, should you have any questions or need further guidance on the Skills Frameworks email us at skillspartnership@hbf.co.uk.
