Recruiting the next generation is a priority if we are to maintain the pipeline of talent coming into the industry, and one of the best ways to showcase what construction has to offer is to get involved with Open Doors. Booking for visitors is now open, and there are already more than 180 events registered to take place across the UK from Monday 17 ‐ Saturday 22 March. With major projects like the expansion of the North Stand at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, the refurbishment of the Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, and the development of the Hamilton Dock Hotel within the Titanic Quarter in Belfast opening their doors, we are seeing huge interest from potential visitors, so if you or your organisation is yet to get involved, what are you waiting for!

It’s not too late to register your remaining sites, offices, and manufacturing and training facilities and start promoting them in the local area. Please reach out to schools and colleges, who can book group visits for their students, as well as local community groups supporting new entrants into the industry, to help us show there is a career in construction for everyone.
