Tim Balcon the CEO of the CITB, has written to construction employers to invite them to take part in a pilot, which will not only offer a job opportunity to an ex-offender but help employers fill their skills gap.
Tim said: “I am very pleased to be working with a group of like-minded people from various organisations in the north west and north Wales.
“We have come together in an attempt to address the skills issue and assist individuals who are looking for an opportunity for a fresh start.
“We hope this pilot will act as a role model for partnerships between employers, CITB, training providers and other prisons nationally going forward.”
