We work closely with employers across New Zealand to ensure that our apprentices receive practical on-the-job training that is relevant to their chosen trade.
One of the unique features of BCITO's apprenticeship programs is our focus on developing not just technical skills but also soft skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and customer service. We believe that these skills are essential for success in any career but particularly important in the building and construction industry where workers often interact with clients directly.
BCITO's commitment to excellence extends beyond our apprenticeship programs. We also provide ongoing professional development opportunities for qualified tradespeople who want to upskill or specialize in a particular area. Our range of short courses covers topics such as health & safety regulations, sustainable building practices, energy efficiency standards, project management tools & techniques.
In addition to training services for individuals seeking careers within this field or those already working within it looking for further development opportunities; BCITO also provides valuable resources including online learning modules designed specifically around each trade area offered by us so you can learn at your own pace from anywhere at any time!
We understand how important it is for our apprentices to have access to the latest tools and technologies in their trade. That's why we invest heavily in state-of-the-art training facilities and equipment, including virtual reality simulators that allow apprentices to practice their skills in a safe and controlled environment.
At BCITO, we are committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity within the building and construction industry. We believe that everyone should have equal opportunities to pursue a career in this field regardless of their background or gender. That's why we actively encourage women, Māori, Pasifika, and other underrepresented groups to consider a career in building and construction.
