Building Heroes
The construction industry is buzzing with innovation and new opportunities!
Today, there are roles in construction that didn't even exist a decade ago. With the government's commitment to build more homes, careers in this sector are not just sustainable, they are inclusive and incredibly exciting.
That's where 'Building Heroes' comes in. This dynamic social media campaign is putting the diversity of careers in construction front and centre.
'Building Heroes' is shattering myths and perceptions about working in construction like how it’s just “on-site” work and that it’s a male-only industry. The truth? Construction is open to everyone!
Over two thrilling three-month phases, young apprentices, trainees, and graduates will take to social media to share their real-life experiences. You'll get an inside look at their training, their work, and their journey in the construction world.
Imagine seeing first-hand how these young professionals are helping to build homes and structures that will benefit society for generations. It is not just about constructing buildings - it is creating homes, shaping cities, and building futures.
We’ve made significant strides in housing recently, with 63,000 houses built in the last two years. But to keep up the momentum, we need more talented individuals in the industry.
If you're interested in a career in construction, there are countless pathways to your dream job. Explore the diverse range of courses and opportunities available and meet our 'Building Heroes' who are pulling back the curtain on what working and training in construction truly entails.
