Heritage building and materials skills development events
Develop your skills for working with older buildings and materials with this series of events from the CITB NI.
The Construction Industry Training Board Northern Ireland (CITB NI) is hosting a number of events to help those wanting to learn more about working with older buildings and materials. The events are part of a wider 3-year heritage project supported by the Covid Recovery Programme which is funded by the Department for Communities (DfC) and administered by the Heritage Fund in Northern Ireland.
