The SkillBuild National Final is only a few days away – and free tickets are still available!

SkillBuild, delivered by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), is the largest and longest-running industry skills competition in the UK.

This year, over 1,000 students battled it out across 10 construction trade categories during 16 Regional Qualifiers, in which participants were assigned a task relevant to their trade. Eight students – the highest scorers in each category – will go head-to-head in the National Final at Arena MK, Milton Keynes on 19–20 November, where the 10 winners will be crowned top of their trade.

The final will consist of competitors constructing a project within 18 hours, with an expert panel of judges assessing them on a number of characteristics – including technical ability, time management, problem solving, working under pressure, and compliance with health and safety requirements.
