The buzz surrounding the planned creation of a multibillion-pound theme park in Bedfordshire is to be used to encourage children to consider careers in the construction industry when they leave school<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s the aim of insulation specialist Actis<\/a>, a long-term champion of encouraging young people to consider construction careers, often through outreach sessions in schools and colleges.<\/p>\n

With developers Comcast NBCUniversal promising to provide training and apprenticeships through colleges and universities throughout the construction and resort phases, the development of the newly named Universal United Kingdom Resort<\/a> should be good news for the wider construction industry, Actis believes.<\/p>\n

Theme park construction set to create 20,000 new jobs<\/h3>\n

The US entertainment giant, which says it will invest an initial \u00a35bn into the resort and a further \u00a31bn over its first decade, wants the theme park to become the most visited in Europe.<\/p>\n

It says the work will generate around 20,000 jobs during construction, with a further 8,000 created after its opening in 2031.<\/p>\n

The government will support the surrounding infrastructure development and transport links to the tune of \u00a31.3bn.<\/p>\n

Opening young people\u2019s eyes to a career in construction<\/h3>\n

Actis East and Scotland regional sales director, Steven Ellis, who lives near the planned theme park, is due to take part in a \u2018careers and aspirations\u2019 day at a village school literally a stone\u2019s throw from the site in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

He plans to reference the resort as an example of the kind of imaginative project open to those choosing a construction career path.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe popular appeal and glamour of a theme park is a tangible and exciting example of the kind of project likely to strike a chord with those still at school. I\u2019m hoping it will give them a real passion to be involved in an industry which can bring so much joy to millions of people all over the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the theme park\u2019s creators predicting there will be 8.5 million visitors a year initially, rising to 12 million within 20 years of opening, the magnitude of the resort points to a great need for skilled tradespeople<\/a> and apprentices.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese will be required to work not only on the 476-acre theme park but also on the road and rail links being created and upgraded to allow access to the site. This is a career opportunity on their doorstep, and I\u2019m hoping they will share my enthusiasm!\u201d<\/p>\n
