The construction industry needs confident, capable and motivated professionals.
Through on-the-job training and regular guidance we're building a skilled workforce in which talented people can excel.
Alongside our industry employers, we create futures for dedicated tradies. We help them develop successful careers and become valuable contributors in New Zealand's building and construction industry.
We honour and uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi in all we do.
BCITO. We’re building people.
