Recruiting in six to eight weeks?

Help shape a more relevant candidate pathway

If you expect to recruit entry-level construction workers within the next six to eight weeks, share your anticipated vacancies, locations and essential requirements. HighViz Training can explore whether upcoming commissioned provision can be shaped around that workforce demand. Candidate availability and introductions are not guaranteed.

Share Your Upcoming Recruitment Needs

The workforce challenge facing Scottish construction

Scotland's construction industry faces a significant and growing workforce challenge. An ageing workforce, skills shortages and increasing project pipelines mean that construction companies need a considered, sustainable approach to bringing new workers into the industry.

HighViz Training works with construction companies as part of a commissioned employability model — not as a recruitment agency. We design and deliver construction employability programmes that prepare participants for entry-level construction roles, and we work with employers to ensure that preparation is aligned with real workforce demand.

Where a participant is ready and a suitable opportunity exists, HighViz Training may facilitate an introduction. Availability and introductions depend on funded cohorts, participant readiness, location and employer requirements; interviews, vacancies and employment are not guaranteed.

What construction companies gain

Employer-informed programme design

Where construction companies engage with HighViz Training as part of a commissioned programme, we shape delivery around real workforce requirements — making the pathway more relevant for participants and more useful for employers.

Participants with accredited training

Where a construction role requires CSCS, participants considered for introduction will have completed the relevant health and safety qualification and will be progressing through or have completed the appropriate CSCS requirements.

Engaged and prepared participants

Participants considered for introduction have actively engaged with a structured employment programme and expressed an interest in the opportunity.

Complementary to existing recruitment

The model may complement existing recruitment activity and help employers reach suitably prepared candidates without an introduction fee.

Social value and community benefit

Engaging with HighViz Training can support your social value and community benefit obligations — increasingly important for public sector and housing association contracts.

Outcome reporting

We provide clear outcome data to commissioning organisations and, where agreed, to employer partners — supporting workforce planning and social value reporting.

We work with companies of all sizes

Sole traders and small contractors

Whether you need to understand what HighViz Training participants look like or want to be involved in shaping a local programme, we are happy to have a conversation about how we might work together.

Medium-sized contractors

For growing businesses with regular entry-level recruitment needs, engaging with HighViz Training as part of a commissioned programme can provide a structured, employer-informed pathway for new workers.

Large principal contractors

For major contractors with community benefit and social value commitments, we provide a structured partnership that delivers measurable employment outcomes and can support your reporting requirements.

Community benefit and social value

Many construction companies working on public sector, housing association or local authority contracts are required to demonstrate community benefit and social value commitments. Engaging with HighViz Training as part of a commissioned programme can be one of the most meaningful ways to contribute to those obligations, depending on the relevant contract and reporting requirements.

Every person progressing towards employment through HighViz Training represents a genuine community outcome — someone who was previously unemployed or underemployed, now taking structured steps towards Scotland's construction workforce.

We can provide the documentation and outcome data you need to support your social value reporting, making it easier to demonstrate compliance with community benefit requirements in your contracts.
