🔨 Back to the Basics in CTE! 🔨 Today, our students got hands-on and learned one of the fundamentals: how to bang some nails! 💥 There’s no better feeling than mastering the basics, and these future pros are well on their way. 💪🏽 In the trades, it’s all about building strong foundations—and that starts with skills like this. Whether it’s carpentry, plumbing, or electrical work, the basics are the backbone of success. 📚 Learning the craft, one nail at a time! #CTE #BackToTheBasics #HandsOnLearning #TradesEducation #CarpentrySkills #FutureBuilders #MayfairCTE #CastleJarrett #BuildingFutures #handsonlearning

Big shoutout to our neighbors downstairs, Ulster YouthBuild, for empowering the next generation to build their futures! Check out this article on Mid Hudson News about how the program is equipping young people with hands-on skills in construction, carpentry, and more. 🔨💡

Yesterday, students from 10 high schools across Detroit gathered to compete in Atlantic Impact’s inaugural ‘Build Detroit: Skilled Trades Challenge' at Eastern Market. The competition was a huge success, and we would like to thank everyone who helped make the day great! The Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Union, Local 2 of Michigan coordinated and judged the masonry competition; Morrey's Contracting judged the carpentry competition; Sachse Construction sponsored prizes for the winners and recruited several volunteers, whom were an enormous help in facilitating a seamless event; Herc Rentals sponsored a much-needed forklift for the day; and 10 local businesses attended the business showcase to share their work and employment opportunities with over 100 local high school students, 'Build Detroit' competitors, and curious members of the community! We're already making bigger and better plans for next year's competition - let us know if you would like to get involved, and we hope to see you next year! www.atlanticimpact.org #skilledtrades #competition #Detroit #construction #masonry #carpentry #welding

SUPER PROGRESS AT CHENNESTONE PRIMARY SCHOOL  Work is advancing rapidly at Chennestone Primary School in Sunbury-on-Thames, as Surrey County Council's project transitions into autumn. The project includes comprehensive strengthening and refurbishment of the flat roofs across the school estate, covering a total of 22 roofs and 2,000 square metres. The removal of asbestos-containing materials has been completed ahead of schedule for 2024, and six roofs have already been fully stripped and replaced with new, high-quality Bauder Flat Roofs roofing. Additionally, two of these roofs have had new fascias installed, with capsheet applied to the new trim. To ensure minimal disruption to the students' learning experience, some classes will temporarily move to the newly installed Portakabins over the next few months, while work is conducted on the roofs above their classrooms. Safety and minimising disruption are MCS’s highest priorities during the execution of this project; so earlier this month Site Manager, Danica Chambers, delivered two important presentations. The first, held during a teacher training session, where Danica explained the project’s progress, the associated new safe operating procedures and programme. The second was delivered to the pupils during school assembly. The pupils, aged between 5 and 11, were excited to learn about the improvements happening at their school. They asked a variety of thoughtful questions, including: "How long does it take to replace a roof?", "Do we need to wear hard hats too?" and "What are those big white things on the school field?"—referring to the Portakabins. All these works are very carefully coordinated and delivered in a strict phased sequence, with full collaboration from the school, in order to minimise disruption. #construction #constructionUK #constructionNews #LoveConstruction #refurbishment #School #Surrey #building #extension #collaboration
