About us…

Promoting Construction West Yorkshire Training Group works across the region with small and micro construction businesses to identify the right training for your staff at the right time. We provide members with advice and guidance on mandatory and skill specific training, offer support to plan training needs, and help employers access £000’s of CITB grants and funds.

Training Groups are support networks of construction employers. They help employers access high quality, cost-effective training which is suitable for their individual needs.

PCWY is a not-for-profit organisation funded primarily via the CITB Levy.  You can be assured that our support and advice is always independent.

 What our members say…

  • I have been attending the meetings for several years and the best thing is the support that Lorraine gives us. Helping us complete applications for funding, getting us into promote construction industry and work with schools.

    Sonia Jamieson, Sigma Group

  • I value the advice we get from PCWY. I know I can email and ring Lorraine and she’s always there to help. The hours I would be spending researching would be ridiculous, but I can just ask Lorraine for her expertise.

    We could not afford to train our employees without the group and we would be lost. The employees would not get trained to such a high level without the group’s help.
