"I started off as an apprentice and wish that I had been given the opportunities and experiences that bricklaying students at East Coast College have today. We work with the team at the college and the students to provide real practical advice and skills, and a chance to find out first hand from our team about what it is like to work in the construction industry, inviting them on site to gain that experience. With a skills shortage in our industry, we need to encourage every one of these students and show that a career in the construction industry is hugely rewarding, fast paced and challenging, and that is why our work with East Coast College is so vital. We have also worked with the college offering industry placements in a real work environment, as well as campaigns on encouraging more women into construction, and informing the students about our apprenticeship opportunities."
