For Employers
You can’t develop what you can’t see.
Real-time visibility of your workforce skills, gaps, compliance and performance — across every site, every role, every project. BSA-ready. PAS 2035-aligned. Built for construction employers.
Four problems every construction employer is carrying.
BSA Legal Obligation
You have a legal duty to evidence competence. The Building Safety Act 2022 put the obligation on the dutyholder — that is you, the employer. Not the training provider. Not the regulator. You. PAS 2035 extended the same obligation to retrofit from March 2025. Licence to practise is coming for multiple trades.
Workforce Visibility
Your site manager knows who the good ones are. Your HR director has the training records. Your line managers have the rest in their heads. None of it is connected. When a regulator, a client or a principal contractor asks for a workforce competence statement — you have nowhere to look.
Apprenticeship ROI
You fund the Levy. You provide the supervisor. You do the on-the-job training. And then more than half don’t complete. Not because the work isn’t there — because the system was built for the training provider, not for you. You have no visibility. No early warning.
Retention & Succession
35% of your construction workforce is over 50. When they leave — and they are leaving — they take everything they know with them. The workers coming through have no map of where they could go. Retention is a pathway problem before it is a pay problem.
Three modules. One connected workforce intelligence system.
Workforce Intelligence (My Workforce)
Full workforce visibility — skills, gaps, compliance and succession — across every site, role and project.
- Map your workforce against 1,000+ construction roles and see every gap in one place
- Learning plans generated automatically — mandatory training alerts before anything expires
- Succession planning, org modelling and skills search across your entire company
- CSCS and affiliated card validation per project — verified in real time
Career & Retention (My Career Pathway)
Every worker gets a career profile, a development path and a reason to stay.
Included for every worker and apprentice at no extra cost.
- Workers build and own their skills profile — portable and visible
- Career goals and preferences set by the worker, visible to the employer
- Self-driven learning through the Skills Builder, linked to their role
- Development goals with progress tracking they manage themselves
Learning & Compliance (My Academy)
Structured apprenticeship delivery. Better completion. Better return on your Levy investment.
- Work-based learning plans for every apprentice — structured from day one
- Skills badges that make progress visible to the apprentice, the supervisor and the employer
- Built-in support network connecting apprentices to the people around them
- Clear apprenticeship and career pathways so every learner can see where it leads

The legal obligation is already in force.
What the BSA requires from you
The Building Safety Act 2022 places the obligation to evidence workforce competence on the dutyholder — that is you, the employer. Principal contractors must demonstrate that every individual carrying out safety-critical work is competent, that competence is maintained, and that an auditable record exists. PAS 2035:2023 extends the same principle to publicly funded retrofit. The direction of travel is clear: the right to carry out specific work will depend on evidenced, verified, maintained competence. And most employers have nothing to show.
What yfor produces for you
Real-time visibility across every apprentice and provider.
You fund the Levy. You provide the supervisors. You deliver the on-the-job experience that every apprenticeship standard requires. And yet every system in the apprenticeship ecosystem was built for the training provider — not for you. yfor’s Apprenticeship Logbook is the first system built employer-side. Your supervisor signs off on site the same day — from their phone, no training required. Evidence flows to the training provider automatically.
Book a logbook demoOn-site evidence capture
Supervisor reviews and approves from their phone, the day the work happens. No waiting weeks for sign-off that should take 60 seconds.
One employer view
One dashboard across every apprentice and every training provider you use. Not one login per e-portfolio.
Gateway readiness
See who is on track and who is at risk — weeks before a gateway review, not the day before.
ESFA-compliant
Every sign-off is timestamped, ESFA-compliant and audit-ready. BSA evidence generated as a natural by-product of learning.
What employers are saying.
