Our Story
Delivering holistic support to Young People facing barriers throughout communities in Northern Ireland.
Passionate About Our Work
BCT has been offering construction training, mentoring and support to young people since 2004.
Since then, a lot has changed and we take pride in successfully adapting our delivery model to support and align with the evolving needs of many disadvantaged communities in Northern Ireland.
At BCT NI, we are dedicated to empowering individuals and communities across Northern Ireland through high-quality training and support. With a proud history rooted in collaboration and innovation, we work tirelessly to equip people with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to achieve their full potential.
Our mission is simple: to make a real, lasting difference. By providing tailored training programs, career development opportunities, and hands-on support, we aim to break down barriers and create pathways to success for everyone, no matter their background.
Partnership is at the heart of what we do. We work closely with local communities, organisations, and businesses to ensure our services meet real needs and deliver meaningful results. Through collaboration, we not only expand our reach but also strengthen the positive impact we can have together.
Whether you're looking to upskill, start a new career, or connect with a supportive community, BCT NI is here to help. Together, we can build brighter futures and stronger communities.

Instilled into everything we do…
Our Values
We firmly believe in our five core values.
People– To help young people gain employment opportunities by overcoming obstacles. We believe that life is not always a level playing field and sometimes a little help us needed to even things up!
Respect- We will always endeavour to treat everyone that we meet with respect and hope they will return the favour. This includes respect for the environment, nature and all living things.
Kindness- We place a high importance on the people who actually ‘do’ the work. Without the men and women on site nothing would be built.
Partnerships- We believe that everything that we do involves the whole person.
Community spirit- It is very hard to learn and focus if your mind is full of concerns or you don’t know where you are sleeping at the end of the day. We work with some amazing people who work tirelessly to address these issues.
Prioritising Brighter Futures…
Our Vision
The future for us is very exciting. We will soon be moving into purpose-built premises and be part of an amazing community hub facility. We cannot wait to welcome our trainees and clients to our new home!
We are committed to focusing on three areas:
We want to reach more young people, particularly young females, who are seriously underrepresented.
We want to help as many young people as possible to discover skills that will enable them to earn a living and support their families and improve their quality of life
We want to give back to the community and offer our services where possible for community development projects
