Recruiting the next generation is vital if we are to maintain a strong pipeline of talent in our sector. One of the most effective ways to showcase the opportunities our industry has to offer is by getting involved in Open Doors, and the countdown to Open Doors 2026 is already underway.
Taking place across the UK from Monday 23 – Saturday 28 March 2026, Open Doors will once again give young people, educators, and career changers a chance to go behind the scenes and see the diverse and rewarding careers available in construction.
To help members prepare, FIS will be supporting the Open Doors Coordinators Meeting on Thursday 11 September, 2:00pm – 3:00pm. This session will set out plans for #OpenDoors26, highlight the benefits of getting involved following the record success of Open Doors 2025, and answer any questions. With the backing of the Open Doors Partners network, members will also be guided on how to get ready to register events when the Open Doors website opens for submissions on Monday 6 October 2025.
Your nominated Open Doors Coordinators should already have received an invitation. Please confirm your attendance to ensure your organisation is represented and ready to play its part in inspiring the next generation.
