BuildForce provides workforce development services for the UK construction industry, from apprenticeships to upskilling and diversity programs.
As a nationwide programme, BuildForce helps the Armed Forces transition into construction and built environment careers by connecting them with employers. Supporting leavers, veterans, reserves and spouses from all service branches, BuildForce has raised the profile of military talent in construction for over 20 years.
It partners with major contractors, consultants and projects, plus their supply chains, enabling them to benefit from exceptional ex-forces skills. Construction naturally aligns with most military roles through engineering, infrastructure, logistics, homebuilding, utilities, security and facilities management. Veterans also bring crucial soft skills like teamwork, problem solving, communication and resilience.
The pre-employment programme evaluates veterans' existing abilities and how these translate to construction. The employment programme provides mentoring, placements, site visits, insight days and jobs. Educational partnerships offer industry modules and degree courses. Wellbeing support is also provided. Onboarding assistance means BuildForce supports transition before, during and after securing employment.
By working closely with employers, BuildForce helps their recruitment teams recognise military talent. Additional services include CV reviews, onboarding programmes, and assertiveness and stress management training. Building infrastructure and communication channels enables soft landings into sustainable careers.
In summary, with deep industry connections and a complete transition package, BuildForce provides an expert route for forces leavers of all backgrounds to successfully resettle into the aligned construction and built environment sector.
