Today we kick off Careers in Construction Month, an exciting time to highlight the diverse opportunities that are available in this industry. It's easy to hear "construction" and limit yourself to only thinking of a few individuals. But seeing as how construction is one of the oldest industries in the world, the career paths are endless. This list is only a snapshot of some of those careers. Check back in throughout the month of October to learn more about these jobs, hear from some of our wonderful teaming partners, and discover what it takes to get started with your construction career. #AvantBuilds #AvantConstruction #CollaborativeConstruction #CareersinConstruction #CareersinConstructionMonth

As part of Green Careers Week at West Suffolk College, our Built Environment campus hosted an inspiring day of Green Skills Workshops co-designed with Annie Benton at Ecological Building Systems. Learners gained hands-on experience with sustainable techniques building with hempcrete, creating passive eco walls using woodfibre, designing tiny houses and crafting green sedum roofs. We look forward to continue working with Annie to give our learners vital skills to support the future of construction. Eastern Education Group

In sectors such as property and construction, the topic of training and education has been in the spotlight for a number of years, particularly given the sector’s admission that there will be skills gaps in the future.   So it was great to see lisa kerford, managing director of specialist multi-utility connection provider, Aptus Utilities Ltd, featuring in Construction UK Magazine’s End Of Year Review to share her thoughts on the importance of investing in the talent of tomorrow.   In the full-page piece Lisa discusses the benefits of apprenticeships and T Levels, highlights the plus points of welcoming the next generation into the workforce, and explains why it’s incumbent on the industry as a whole to demonstrate that there are alternatives to traditional academic routes into employment.   Head to page 28 to read the full feature ⬇️ #B2BPR #IntegratedAgencyUK #B2BMediaRelations

As you plan your projects and diaries as the year comes to a close, it’s time to ask yourself if you’ve truly given back this year. If not, and your calendar is looking hectic, you can simply allocate 60 minutes of your time. The Careers & Enterprise Company only asks you to ‘Give an Hour’ to share your knowledge and advice with young people in local colleges and schools. It’s a scheme we care a lot about here at Hawes Construction Group. We’ll be giving our hour – if not more – before 2024 is over. Can you do the same? #GiveAnHour #CareersAndEnterprise #YoungPeopleInConstruction

🌟 Exciting Opportunity to Inspire the Next Generation of Construction Professionals! 🌟 On behalf of the Learning Lab Committee, I’m thrilled to announce that the Tampa Bay Construction Career Days event is scheduled for March 26, 2025, at the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds. This incredible event introduces over 1,000 high school students from the Tampa Bay area to the diverse and rewarding careers within the construction industry—including highways, bridges, engineering, utilities, surveying, vertical construction, geotechnical fields, and more. Students will explore various post-high school pathways, engage in hands-on activities, and even have the opportunity to apply for jobs. Each year, we hear inspiring stories from students who’ve found their career direction at this event—many of whom didn’t know what they wanted to pursue before attending. The Learning Labs are at the heart of this experience, offering 20-minute sessions where participating firms showcase their work and inspire students to see themselves in these roles. Labs can include: 🔹 Hands-on exercises (e.g., rebar tying, pipe fitting, surveying) 🔹 Industry presentations and discussions 🔹 Fun and interactive activities There’s no cost to host a Learning Lab—just your time, energy, and any equipment needed for your presentation. If you’re interested in making an impact, please fill out the form linked below: 👉 Learning Lab Form: https://lnkd.in/emfw2kF7 Construction Career Days is a rewarding opportunity to give back to our community and inspire the workforce of tomorrow.
