That’s why we will be on the road this November for the Construction Connect Roadshows, hosted by NOCN Group and the Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS). 

The roadshows will be held up and down the UK, from Scotland to London, with six regional roadshows to bring together accredited centres, training providers, colleges and industry leaders to explore the future of construction skills, qualifications and workforce development. 

You’ll hear directly from NOCN Group’s Product Developer, Jonathan Alton, and the Head of Card Schemes, Paul Taylor. We’re also pleased to be joined by CITB, who will share updates on the National Training Provider Network, and CSCS, who will provide guidance on fraud prevention initiatives.
