Learning and earning – tips on combining further study with a civil service career https://lnkd.in/eM3KzHxV

The UK construction industry is facing a significant skills gap, with 70% of firms struggling to find qualified workers in 2024. We’re actively working to bridge this gap. By hosting career days in schools, we’re reaching out to the next generation and showing them the exciting opportunities within the construction sector. However, we’re finding that when we ask students if they’re interested in a career in construction, only about 1 in 200 raise their hands. The construction industry is not only vital to the economy but also offers rewarding and varied career paths. What do you think could be done to inspire more students to consider a career in construction?

As schools, colleges and universities close for their summer breaks, many students can find themselves feeling a little lost as to where their careers are heading.  Sarra’s committed to changing the landscape for young people starting careers in construction and, in particular championing opportunities for young women and girls. So even though your students are absent for the holidays, there’s still time to share the resources they need and pinpoint their directions for support.  The Hawes Construction Group blog is a great place to look. Here, Sarra discusses everything from how to find the right route into construction to how to work up to a senior level – and everything in between.

The value of trades may sometimes be overlooked. Growing up, like many immigrant parents do, I was taught to study hard, attend a college/university, get a degree and become someone my grandparents would be proud of. Like many, I knew that a university degree meant I could join a profession that allowed me to work in a classroom (becoming a teacher had been my dream since I was six). After completing my degree in Honour's English, I no longer wanted to take that route (shout out to the AMAZING teachers who are literally shaping the next generation's minds.) I remember my grandfather would sit me down and tell me to go to school so that I wouldn't have to break my back working in the ways he did as a physical labourer. On the weekends he would be building, constructing, sawing, hammering-he was a man that worked with his hands and built his own home and others. As a young girl, I never realized how much of an asset it truly is to be able to build something with your own two hands-even without him receiving formal education. Like many others, my grandfather was a man who worked within trades for quite some time both in Italy and when he came to Canada. His experience came from hands on learning-learning from his father and others around him. As a recruiter now working within the construction industry, I speak to laborer's, tradesmen, builders, and construction managers, daily. Their value in our communities is undeniable. Tradespeople are the backbone of our society, crafting the physical infrastructure that sustains our daily lives. Their hands-on expertise ensures the electricity we rely on, the buildings we inhabit, and the water systems we use function seamlessly. To anyone working with the construction industry/trades, I commend you. To those thinking of getting into that field, I support you. Whether you have formal education training or hands on learning, it is truly an impressive career route! #trades #construction #recruitement #education #handsonexperience #learning
