Construction Qualifications Strategy (CQS)

In February 2005 ConstructionSkills and QCA agreed to develop a Construction Qualification Strategy (CQS) as a basis for future qualification planning and development to meet the construction industry’s three major skill challenges of improving business performance; qualifying the existing workforce and recruiting qualified new entrants identified in the ConstructionSkills’ Sector Skills Agreement (SSA). The CQS will inform the implementation of the ConstructionSkills’, regulatory bodies’ and home nations’ qualification frameworks and vocational education and training developments, including higher education.

The Standards and Qualifications Strategy Committee has been established between the partner organisations within ConstructionSkills and will be responsible to the ConstructionSkills Strategic Partnership Panel. This will ensure a fully integrated process for dealing with standards and qualifications and the development of and implementation of a Construction Qualifications Strategy (CQS).
