Construct Your Future – Build Your Team
Two events in one ………
Construct Your Future has been designed for anyone with an interest in construction: school leavers, students, graduates, service leavers and adults considering a career change.
Attendees will:
- Hear about the sheer breadth of job opportunities in construction
- Be inspired by the stories of people already pursuing fulfilling careers
- Discover the career progression and rewards offered by construction
- Talk to employers about careers in construction
Build Your Team is for employers
This is an opportunity for businesses to challenge preconceptions and present reality: a fast-growing, successful and increasingly high-tech industry which underpins the UK economy. The event will demonstrate the wealth of opportunities in highly skilled, fulfilling roles with rewarding career paths.
Employers will:
- Hear how other companies have recruited from a wider talent pool
- Meet potential employees
- Promote construction as a positive career
- Develop relationships with career advisors, schools and other support organisations
There is no cost to attend; all we ask is that you wear a coloured badge to indicate that you are an employer. You do not have to be recruiting at this time, just come along and talk to attendees about:
- The types of jobs in your business
- Career progression such as from apprentice to senior management
- The rewards that the industry offers
