🧱 Apprenticeships in Construction - well that’s a huge topic to cover……but we gave it a good shot.
🎬 See below👇 for the link to the recording and the resources we talked about on the session.
🪚 The session started by looking at TRADE APPRENTICESHIPS - the college courses and apprenticeship routes into them.
Lots of young people will go to a college for a year to gain some basic 'trade' skills but then need to find 👀 an employer to continue onto their Apprenticeship…….so we shared some really practical ways to find an employer.

The second half of the session was about trainee management roles in construction and we were so privileged to have Norma Odain-Hines and Christabel Adjei on the session from Morgan Sindall - one of the UK’s largest construction companies.
Norma shared with us how important ‘work experience’ can be in introducing yourself to a company and then we heard Christabel’s inspiring story as she carves out a career in site management. It's worth listening to this webinar just to hear Christabel's contribution!

Great feedback from the session 📣 :
“Yet another interesting & inspiring webinar which was obviously relevant to the industry/sector that I currently work in. Both Norma and Christabel's contribution to the session were very engaging & I'm confident that what they talked about would have inspired any students thinking of Careers in Construction and also given valuable content to parents/Careers advisors that were on the call.“
