Our industry is expected to grow by 2.5% every year for the next five years. This will create 232,000 new jobs across the UK. 390,000 workers left the industry in 2008. 400,000 people to retire in next five years. Skills shortages equal to pre-recession highs. A £466 billion government plan for the UKs infrastructure £15 Billion plan for roads £2.3 billion plan for flood defences More investment in housing, rail and energy Innovation is changing the face of the industry. Need to recruit and develop people with new types of skills.

Current Position

Inspectorates state that careers guidance in schools is not working, following significant cuts in a three year period to career services. 22% of all careers advisors in the UK believe a career in construction is unattractive. 34.6% of young people view construction and the built environment as a favourable career choice Construction careers information is multiple, complex and confusing Sector impact is lost through inconsistency of approach and asks of educators

  • Possibly own boss and charge what you

want

  • Good with heights,
  • Boring not a career
  • I know a girl could do any role but you

don’t really see many on sites.

  • Difficult to get apprenticeships– so need

to know someone to get the opportunity to train

  • Busy all year round
  • Not a good job if your scared of heights,

feeling sad but you might see Santa

Non –science bit

  • Male dominated
  • Limited opportunity
  • Where are vacancies advertised
  • I am not really sure what a QS is..
  • Some roles are not a job in its own right

its generally incorporated into a builders role ????

  • Boring, same every day
  • Done by multi trades
  • Working in all weathers
  • Career in roofing- really?
  • I’ve seen your website- so I know!

Moments of Choice report 2016

‘Moments of choice’ a report released by the Careers and Enterprise Company looks at educational outcomes and suggests that young people are receiving too much career information, rather than not enough, and that they are struggling to make sense of what is out there. GO CONSTRUCT IS ADDRESSING THIS
