The Careers & Enterprise Company is once again delighted to be a community partner for Build UK’s Open Doors Week, running from 13-18 March 2023. We will be raising awareness of the week both within schools and colleges and also with the construction sector employers that we work with.
Open Doors is delivered by Build UK to offer young people and those looking for a change of career an exclusive opportunity to take a look behind the site hoardings of fantastic ‘live’ construction sites, supported by virtual events, showcasing the diverse range of opportunities available. With construction facing a severe skills shortage and 266,000 new workers required by 2026, Open Doors is an excellent way of inspiring people to choose a career in the sector and take the next steps to progress into the industry.
This year’s Open Doors will see more than 150 construction sites, offices, factories and training centres opened up across England, Scotland and Wales, showcasing hundreds of different professions. Visitors can book their place now to go behind the hoardings on a variety of projects, including hospitals, schools and universities, theatres, libraries, viaducts, and production and training facilities.
