“We have been significantly involved in school engagement in the last decade and find it invaluable in raising the profile of construction as a potential career to school pupils. The pupils who participate in these events are then able to make a more informed decision about joining the industry. We have directly employed pupils into apprenticeships through this way of engaging and find they are more likely to complete their apprenticeships. We are looking forward to our continued support of these events in the future and find them a huge benefit for the industry and future workforce.”
