With just over a month to go until visitor bookings open on Monday 12 January, excitement is already building for Open Doors 2025. More than 100 events have been registered across the UK so far, offering the public a rare chance to step behind the scenes of some of the nation’s most iconic construction projects; including Buckingham Palace, Natural History Museum – Unlocked, Edgbaston Cricket Ground, and Aintree Hospital.
A huge thank you to all FIS members who are opening their sites, offices, manufacturing facilities and training centres from 23–28 March, helping to showcase the opportunities and diversity within the construction industry.
Delivered by Build UK, Open Doors continues to be one of the most effective initiatives for attracting new talent into construction. Interest from schools, colleges and universities is already strong, and a new report from Open Doors partner Prospects highlights just how vital workplace experiences are in helping young people transition successfully into employment.
With this in mind, we are encouraging members to upload all planned events to the Open Doors website before the Christmas break. The more opportunities available, the more young people we can inspire to take their first step into the industry.
Upload your events and get ready for visitor bookings from 12 January.
