Changing the stigma in the construction industry 🏗️

Changing the stigma in the construction industry 🏗️ People often associate trades with underperforming at school. However, some directors, like Jamie, understand the importance of not only attracting those who have done well academically but also providing support for their employees who want to learn more. University and trades should not be seen as two polar opposite routes, with one being considered the lesser option. Mark emphasizes the case of a labourer they recently hired and supported in achieving his degree.

Somebody has to do it! 👷

Somebody has to do it! 👷 Working in construction isn't all about 'being on the tools'; the roles in the office are just as essential, and Jamie understands the importance of trying to get young people motivated and into these positions inside the construction industry. The trades have loads of potential for growth and opportunities to up-skill and move positions; take Mark, for example; he started as a quantity surveyor in the office and now works as a construction director; all the industry asks of you is to work hard and apply yourself.

A tough but rewarding industry to conquer ⛰️

A tough but rewarding industry to conquer ⛰️ The construction industry can be a tough place to work in. Mark explains that the industry demands a lot from its employees and requires specific qualities to succeed. People who have made a name for themselves in the industry are known for their strong work ethic and are not afraid of hard work. On the other hand, those who lack the ability to work hard tend to leave. The lesson to be learned here is that while the construction industry presents many opportunities, it also comes with challenges. Those who are willing to put in the hard work to overcome these challenges will be rewarded in the end!
