What is the Answer to:

The Ultimate Question of Life

the Universe and Everything?


Montage of 42 faces


How did we do it?

Shared lessons learned with similar organisations to ourselves

Recognised training the workforce is a joint responsibility

Defined our requirements in a E & S Strategy Document @ ITT

Embraced CITB Client Based Approach ESP – it works

Place mandatory contractual obligations on contractors to maintain framework membership via CITB SASs



We Also Deliver at Project Level

Over & above the framework requirements

Client sets project specific requirements for E & S

This is Tested within Contractor selection

KPIs used to demonstrate delivery of the desired local outputs

Next Steps: To “Right Size” Requirements for smaller projects.



Other Examples of leveraging E & SS Outputs

Engage with Industry initiatives - Go Construct

Engage with Education initiatives – such as

Budding Brunels (CYT) & STEM Challenges

Education Opportunities Toolkit


Education Opportunities Toolkit


Some Statistics

797 Applicants for Opportunities

91 Shortlisted and interviewed

15% Diversity

Next Steps

Maintain commitment

Target gender equality

“Right size” for lower value works


What do people say

“The SCF requirement for framework contractors to have technician apprentices as a condition of being a member of the framework is to be commended.” Julian Carter, Co Train

“Being an apprentice has taught me a huge amount about the workplace, particularly how to deal with colleagues, which can’t be learnt in college. I also love how every day is different.” Craig Caplen, working with Galliford Try

“The SCF Employment and Skills strategy is an incredibly important aspect of the benefits that this Framework brings to the region. We fully support the drive to employ and up-skill people within the communities in which they work, and we’ll continue to work alongside them and with our own policies around local labour and skills to achieve a greater benefit for the local area.”Peter Whitmore, Business Unit Director

“Earning while I learn has also allowed me to save for a car and take my driving test - this would not of been possible if I had gone to university.”Adam Miller, BAM Apprentice
