“Encouraging the brightest and best young talent to build a rewarding and fulfilling career within the built environment sector is critical to the future prosperity of our industry. For a sector that is fundamental to our health, wellbeing and way of life, we often fail to properly articulate the wealth of opportunities that exist for aspirational young people, especially those with limited direct connections to the industry through family and friends.
“The PLACED Digital Academy is an excellent way for us to reach out to those audiences and high-achieving individuals who might never have considered a career within construction, challenging outdated perceptions and providing a real insight into this dynamic and tech-led global sector. We are looking forward to working closely with students over the course of the year.”
