Aims & Objectives

NCTG aims to:

• Encourage members to meet the objectives of the industry and the ConstructionSkills, by promoting safe working practices, within the construction industry in Northamptonshire, through the provision of high-quality cost-effective training courses
  
• Reduce the cost of training for members, by virtue of ‘bulk purchasing power’ and the independent, non-profit making status of the group
  
• Provide support and services to members; assist with all aspects of training, including working with companies to clarify their particular training needs, arranging training courses, advising on grant claims, and so on
  
• Identify and book training courses which offer the highest quality of training at the lowest prices—includes providing administrative support to the smaller company who does not have the time or resources to manage training in-house
  
• Generate a training culture within the county, in order to promote health and safety best practice, and reduce accidents and injuries
  
• Encourage members to develop their workforce through On-Site Assessment Training (OSAT), Construction Apprentice Schemes and Investors in People
  
• Support the efforts of the ConstructionSkills and National Construction College in raising the profile of construction in Northamptonshire, and encourage the recruitment of people into the industry, by making industry-related training more locally available
  
• Offer guidance and information in the development of health and safety, environmental and equal opportunities policies
  
• Provide information regarding regulatory and legislation updates through newsletters and flyers
  
• Provide a forum (quarterly meetings) in which construction issues, legislative or otherwise, can be discussed locally, and facilitate networking between members, through industry specific forums and workshops, and encourage members to share experiences
  
• Work with members, training providers and local authorities to promote the construction industry in schools
