Helping students to consider ‘Build Your Career’ a future in construction

Throughout 2022 the Construction Industry Training Board NI (CITB NI) has been working with post primary schools across Northern Ireland on their campaign Build Your Career – a future in construction, which aims to showcase the options and routes into the industry.

Recently CITB NI partnered with W5, with support from Cool FM, to talk to Year 10 students about the construction industry as well as the range of job options and qualifications required. School students heard about construction careers, some interesting facts and had the opportunity to try out construction activities led by Belfast Metropolitan College, W5 and Farrans Construction.

CITB NI plan similar events with W5 in 2023 aimed at higher level students. For further information on a career in construction, for students and schools, visit  https://www.citbni.org.uk/careers.aspx
