BuildingHeroesIrl

The Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science together with BuildingHeroesIrl have produced a documentary to promote the vast range of Careers in Construction. The aim is to dispel perceptions of the sector, show what a career in construction is really like, and attract young people into the sector. Please share the documentaries with the young people in your life.

Liam R. takes us on a site survey. Although much of Liam's work is carried out on a computer, in terms of designing etc, he also gets to be on-site to understand the real implications of his designs. #BuildingHeroes #BuildingHeroesIRL #BuildSustainableCareers #NextGenCareers #ConstructionHeroes #buildingthefuture #BuildSustainableCareers

Shauna, @the_tarmacing_mammy, wears a number of different hats, from HGV driver to labourer, to future management, to busy Mum of 2, to inspirational speaker for the future generations. How does she do it all? All in a day's work for Shauna! #BuildingHeroes #BuildingHeroesIRL #BuildSustainableCareers #NextGenCareers #ConstructionHeroes #buildingthefuture #BuildSustainableCareers #womeninconstruction

Ian R. helps demystify the journey after you've graduated from a city planning course, to describe what a graduateship program is like, and how it helps as you move into the real world of work. #BuildingHeroes #BuildingHeroesIRL #BuildSustainableCareers #NextGenCareers #ConstructionHeroes #buildingthefuture #BuildSustainableCareers

Chatreen O'Connor shares her journey from school to film and media, to becoming an electrical apprentice! If there's one thing we've learned on this #buildingheroes campaign, it's that everyone has their own journey - there is no single pathway. Just one of the things that makes the construction industry more interesting and diverse than ever. #BuildingHeroesIRL #BuildSustainableCareers #NextGenCareers #ConstructionHeroes #buildingthefuture #BuildSustainableCareers #womeninconstruction

In this video Conor Brannigan shares a little about what you can expect after you've finished an apprenticeship, so many different pathways - the sky's the limit! #BuildingHeroes #BuildingHeroesIRL #BuildSustainableCareers #NextGenCareers #ConstructionHeroes #buildingthefuture #BuildSustainableCareers

We get to go behind the scenes with our favourite @the_tarmacing_mammy Shauna who shows us the process of a car park being resurfaced - nicely spruced up and open for business! #BuildingHeroes #BuildingHeroesIRL #BuildSustainableCareers #NextGenCareers #ConstructionHeroes #buildingthefuture #BuildSustainableCareers #womeninconstruction
