FAQ

Common questions

What is a CT&EMP?

A Construction Training and Employment Management Plan sets out how a development will provide and monitor construction-related jobs and training.

Does it require agreed recruitment targets?

Yes, where the condition requests measurable targets, the developer or contractor must agree what is achievable.

Is this the same as a T&EMP?

No. A T&EMP usually covers operational employment after the development opens.
