TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL! - 22 July 2011

The BCITO wishes to give employers within the building industry access to study programmes which will help them to develop and grow their business. As such, funding in the form of grants is now being offered to employers of current BCITO trainees. This support will help employers to run successful long-term businesses, better placing them to provide on-going investment in training and employment within NZ’s building industry.

What can the grants be used for?
Employers can select any training or development assistance which best suits their personal or
business development needs. Some examples include:

• BCITO courses such as Leading Hand, Site Supervisor or Diploma in Construction Management
• Consultation with a business advisor
• Short courses or seminars on small business management, estimating or contract management
• Higher level business-related qualifications

How much are the grants worth?
Each grant is for the cost of the chosen course or seminar incurred by the employer, up to a
maximum of $3000 excluding GST.
