Construction is a practical and multi-disciplinary program for students, providing them with the skills and knowledge to springboard into any career in the construction industry. Rather than focusing on any one trade, Building, Construction, and Allied Trades Skills (BCATS) programmes build skills and an understanding of all trades in the construction industry. They also develop literacy, numeracy and communication skills and contribute to NCEA qualifications. - From BCITO
