Employers
With BCITO, connecting with motivated, job-ready apprentices has never been easier.
BCITO apprenticeships build stronger businesses
Qualified people make fewer mistakes, work faster, and stay longer. BCITO training is practical, flexible, and fits around how you work.
Strengthen your team
Skilled workers keep jobs moving, reduce waste, and grow into your future foremen and leaders - built from within, not hired in.
Boost your bottom line
Improved margins mean healthier profits, and Government Boost payments can help offset costs.
Stand out from the crowd
A qualified team gives customers confidence. Promote it on your vehicles, website, and tenders - and stand out from the competition.

Your Competitive Edge
BCITO makes it simple to find, hire and train the right apprentice for your business. Tens of thousands of successful apprentices. One organisation supporting both of you, every step of the way.
Supervisors & managers
BCITO doesn’t just offer apprenticeships – we also have qualifications for supervisors and managers who want to upskill or have their experience recognised.
Upskill yourself or your team
A positive workplace culture fosters business growth. That’s why we don’t just offer apprenticeships, we also offer training and qualifications for your existing team.
By training your existing team, they’ll be more valuable, more motivated, and encouraged to stay in your business longer.
Micro-credentials
Futureproof your business with niche skills that are in high demand and suit the way that work is evolving.
A BCITO micro-credential is where your team can gain specialist skills in a short timeframe.
Get your existing experience formally recognised
If you’ve worked in the industry for a few years, but don’t have a qualification we’ll help you get one.
Level up your supervisory skills
New Zealand’s construction industry has an extreme shortage of qualified supervisors. Gain the experience and skills you need to be a high-performing qualified supervisor.
And for an employer, gain an extra pair of hands to help the team with day to day management.
