The online platform offers a new digital gateway into construction.
The Construction Industry Training Board launched Go Construct Careers, an essential new online platform designed to connect construction employers with the next generation of skilled workers.
The upgraded portal will serve as a central hub for job vacancies, apprenticeships, and entry-level opportunities across England, Scotland, and Wales.
GCC is a free-to-use feature within the existing Go Construct website and is tailored to support individuals at every stage of their journey – whether they’re entering the industry for the first time, interested in learning new skills, or switching careers. The platform enables users to create profiles, upload CVs, search and apply for roles, and even get discovered by employers actively seeking new talent.
For employers, GCC offers a streamlined way to advertise vacancies, build talent pools, and promote events such as career fairs and competitions. It also supports training providers and educators by offering tools to help students explore construction careers and check CSCS cards.
The launch comes at a critical time for the construction industry, which is rapidly evolving thanks to digital innovation and adopting more sustainable and modern methods of construction. GCC will help employers to attract a more diverse workforce also, while giving people a user-friendly portal to explore opportunities and engage with employers.
GCC is designed to be inclusive and accessible, with case studies and content that reflect the full spectrum of people working in the industry. It aims to attract young people, career changers, and individuals from underrepresented backgrounds, helping the industry to attract a broader range of people into the industry.
Stephen Carter-Saunders, Product Developer (Careers) at CITB, said: “Go Construct Careers is a direct response to what the sector told us they needed – clearer pathways into construction and tools to help individuals take the next step with confidence, either through applying for new entrant opportunities, or being discovered by potential employers.
“Prospective new entrants can see the breadth of opportunity in the industry via GCC – it is designed to meet employers and prospective employees where they are and provide guidance."
