Construction Ambassadors

“Construction is all about enthusiasm and teamwork. I work with people from all walks of the construction industry and beyond to develop a project from concept through costing and design to construction and completion. It’s very satisfying to stand beside a structure and know I had a hand in building it.”

CITB-ConstructionSkills Northern Ireland has developed a Construction Ambassador programme to help promote career opportunities within the industry and interact with young people within schools.

What is a Construction Ambassador?

Construction Ambassadors are a regional network of people who already work in the industrycovering all trades and professions, who give young people a real life perspective of the industry by visiting schools and attending careers conventions giving first hand information on what it is like to work in construction.
Construction Ambassadors are the faces of the industry, sharing positive experiences with young people who are considering construction as a career. Through Construction, students can learn about health & safety, equal opportunities and the world of work and a Construction Ambassador enhances the link between education and employment. Ambassadors are able to inspire, enthuse and inform students and teachers about the built environment and the opportunities a career in construction may bring.

If you would like an Ambassador to visit your school or college to talk to your students about their experiences of working in the Construction Industry in Northern Ireland, then please contact gayle.beckett@citbcsni.org.uk for more information.
