Mind the Gap Survey

Employer Survey

Thank you for agreeing to take part in this survey, which forms part of an initial piece of research for the 'Mind the Gap' project, commissioned by CITB. This project will be delivered by a consortium of organisations, with the aim of working with construction industry partners and specialist organisations to create a sustainable employment pathway for serving prisoners and ex-offenders. The project will also deliver construction training and support for over 400 businesses.

The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. The opinions and experiences that you share with us will be treated in the strictest confidence and will be used only to help the organisation involved to shape the project in a way that will best serve the industry.
