Welcome To Plymouth Construction Training Group

Chairman's welcome to the Group

 Plymouth Construction Training Group was formed in 1977, funded by CSkills; the primary function being to provide access to training for local construction companies, share knowledge and to give advice and guidance throughout the industry to raise standards of training.

 Having had the honour of being appointed as Chair of the group in 2009, I am following in the distinguished footsteps of Ken Farnham who was an excellent Chair for many years and remains very active nationally with the FMB and government lead focus groups for construction.

 Going forward the strategy of the group is to retain existing membership and recruit new members; a challenging task. We want the industry within the local area to remain strong and assist those involved to continue through this unstable economic climate. The group have been very fortunate in being selected to assist in a National Pilot Scheme with the Pathway to Construction Initiative funded by the FMB. This partnership is already looking successful and will be enormously beneficial to both employers and employees in a time when apprentice recruitment has been decreasing.

 I would very much like to extend an invitation to members old and new to join us and take advantage of the support that membership brings.

Tony Carson - Chairman of PCTG
