Go Construct employability pack

Institute of Carpenters Posted on 31/01/2022 by Denise31/01/2022

Looking for a career change to get into construction or know a young adult thinking of a career in the industry? 

How to apply for a job in construction

Go Construct has an employability pack on their website and has pulled together advice and insights on:

  • Writing CVs and job applications
  • Making the most of your employability skills when completing an application form or cover letter 
  • The application process for apprenticeships
  • What to do when you have an interview
  • How you can keep building on your skills while working in construction

IOC members at Member or Fellow level can apply for a PQP CSCS card through the IOC. This is valid for 5 years or the duration of membership *.

IOC year 2+ student members can apply for a trainee card which is valid for the duration of your IOC student membership *. 

*If you haven’t already done so, you will need to take the HSE (health, safety & environment) test before applying for your CSCS card.
