What is Cyfle Building Skills?
Cyfle Building Skills is a New Regional Shared Apprenticeship
Scheme that will create a minimum 140 apprenticeships across
SouthWest Wales in its first 2 years. It is a shared apprenticeship
scheme launched by South West Wales Regional Shared
Apprenticeship Ltd (SWWRSAL) and CITB.The aim is to provide
a service which supports young adults into sustainable
employment within the construction industry.This will help
young people further their careers and their chances of
gaining employment.They will have the opportunity to gain
an NVQ level 2 & 3.
Cyfle will introduce new tradespeople into the sector and
boost employment. It also means that, in this tough economic
climate contractors are not tied to supporting full-time
apprenticeships.
The Shared Apprenticeship Scheme allows apprentices to
complete a full apprenticeship programme by working with a
number of different employers, to gain the skill sets they
require to become qualified.
It has been set up to help employers who want to support the
development of skills while working on regional contracts, but
are not in a position to offer a full term apprenticeship, and
who wish to support training the future workforce.
“...to educate, inspire
and support people to
develop careers in the
construction sector”
