On-site work experience for local students

This term we have been supporting a group of Year 11 pupils who have expressed an interest in working in the construction industry.

They have been attending site every Friday afternoon to work with Senior Site Manager Scott Morris. They’ve attended a site induction, been updated on the plans and programme for the project, discussed health and safety in construction, and took part in several site visits to see progress on site. They have also met members of the project and supply chain.

The pupils also attended a Construction Careers session discussing practical work-based options beyond school. This has been a great experience for us and the pupils.
