Build UK and CITB have launched the Inspiring Construction campaign, aimed at encouraging people to choose a career in construction<\/h2>\n

The campaign called \u2018Inspiring Construction\u2019 provides employers with information, tools and advice to promote construction careers.<\/p>\n

The campaign is responding to the Skills Hack at last year\u2019s Construction News Summit where employers and industry representatives explored new approaches to recruitment. Employers wanted to see a more engaging approach to recruitment.<\/p>\n

Launching the Inspiring Construction campaign, industry leaders including Build UK\u2019s Chief Executive Suzannah Nichol MBE, Build UK\u2019s new Chairman Mark Castle and CITB\u2019s Chief Executive, Sarah Beale will be speaking at schools, colleges and universities across the country, sharing their career experiences to inspire young people to consider construction.<\/p>\n

The campaign hopes to channel the enthusiasm from across the industry to promote construction to the next generation of new entrants, including young people and career changers.<\/p>\n

Nichol said: \u201cThe industry is committed to changing the way we recruit people into our industry, and I\u2019m delighted that Inspiring Construction provides employers with the tools and resources to deliver inspirational careers engagements to the next generation across the nation. Together we can promote the incredible opportunities we have to offer and share our love of construction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beale added: \u201cInspiring Construction is all about creating a new mode of recruitment. Through great tools and services such as Construction Ambassadors and Go Construct Matching Service we want to encourage employers of all sizes to get involved. Good information about construction careers isn\u2019t enough, we must inspire the future generation through our passion and drive.\u201d<\/p>\n
