Building without barriers
Building Abilities
We're all working with a unique set of tools. Whether it's challenges with learning or deafness, BCITO is dedicated to breaking down barriers for apprentices and employers so all New Zealanders can thrive in a construction career.

Deafness: Meet Baz
Baz always dreamed of becoming a builder. Now, as a BCITO qualified carpentry apprentice, he is leading the way for other Deaf apprentices.

Dyslexia: Meet Sophie
Our learners and employers share stories about how they are navigating the road to success. Don’t let a disability hold you back from a career in the trades. We’ve put together some resources to help you get ahead and have a successful future in construction.
