Young People in Construction

What we do

Supporting young people in construction is a pivotal part of our role as a supplier to the industry.

The skills learned within the construction site are invaluable, with an ever-growing demand for young people to learn these skills and create a stable and fulfilling career path.

We connect with multiple colleges, employment schemes and organisations around the UK, engaging with young people seeking to get a start in Construction and helping provide all of the information and guidance they may need to start their first role.

With only 9% of people aged 24 years old and under currently working in construction, we’re working hard to demystify industry stereotypes and attract more young people into construction to help fill the skill-set shortage and provide the industry with a bright future.

In 2021 we placed 14.72% young people in construction roles, and in 2022 we placed 17.55%, with 2023 set to increase again.
