Construction Skills Training
Hampshire County Council construction projects have supported over 2000 people to become qualified for work on site
Construct Your Future (CYF) - Construction Mentoring Project
It is estimated that around 225,000 extra new employees are needed in the construction sector by 2027.
Typically, over 70% of new employees leave construction jobs in the first 3 months, which is why we are delivering CYF (Construct Your Future), a mentoring project to help new employees build resilience, make the right impression, stay in work and plan for personal progress.
Commissioned by CITB we work with a range of construction employers, colleges, training providers and more to ensure we are supporting employees in the industry, stay in the industry.

The course and this job has turned my life around and I am so proud. I never could have imagined this outcome and am so grateful for all the support I’ve received. It’s given me more confidence and self-belief which has helped me deal with my personal situation more effectively and I’m much happier for it!
Getting the CSCS card enabled me to get this job and because of that I’ve been exposed to a different world – I’ve learned a lot. I might well be working in another sector now if I hadn’t got the CSCs card – and I don’t think it would be as well paid!
Upcoming course dates
A TCS case study
On Site CSCS Course training results in 100% job outcomes. The TCS team are extremely appreciative of Rick and the Bewley Homes team for running a CSCS course on site and meeting the need for CSCS training in this area of the Winchester district. We’d love to run more courses from sites; and Rick is up for this too.
I’d happily have another 10 courses on site as long as it helps bring people into the industry.
Broadening Horizons, a TCS project case study
Tanya, 33, had been unemployed for a short while after leaving her job in the Care industry to look after her new daughter. Ab Basingstoke JCP, she heard about the 'Women in Construction' Event hosted by the TCS team in partnership with Basingstoke Discovery Centre and DWP in March 2022.
After having my daughter, it was the first time I had experienced unemployment. It was also the first time I realised that I was scared to return to what I knew which was Healthcare. I began painting houses and discover a confidence I didn't know I had, learning and enjoying it at the same time too.
Rebuilding Lives, a TCS project case study
Seyedsaber came to the UK on the Ukrainian scheme due to the ongoing conflict. He was desperate to work and determined to build a new life where he could develop his skills learned back in Ukraine…read about how TCS supported him to become a valued member of the Hills Construction team.
I am very thankful to the people of the UK and the amazing opportunity I have found through the TCS Team attending the CSCS course they offer.
Women in construction
1% of construction employees are female but because there are so many opportunities for women in the sector, their numbers are growing…
The team made me feel at home immediately. My gender made no difference whatsoever. Don’t be scared to go and do what you want to do – you’ll be surprised how much construction has changed. I want women to know this – it might suit them perfectly
Mike's story
Mike has been deaf from birth, but this has never held him back. He had a cochlear implant when he was 3 years old and this has helped him to be successful in the hearing world.
Mike passed the CSCS test and soon afterwards he was taken on as a trainee bricklayer by local employer Persimmons.
The course has opened doors for me. I’m moving forward. It’s sorted out my future
Riley's story
Riley Scott, 19, left school at 16, and did a year at college. But after a year at home, he needed some more support to get into the job market.
The most important thing the Kickstart job has given me is confidence. I’ve gained so much in terms of being able to speak to people and work with them.
