The B&CE Charitable Trust has launched a new Construction Employability Award to encourage new talent into the construction industry
The award is given to a project or organisation that can demonstrate a commitment to accredited training, which makes a significant difference to the construction industry.
The winner of the last award was Constructionarium Ltd, who launched a two-day event for lecturers and specialist teachers.
Constructionarium’s Norfolk centre enables delegates to work on a scaled-down replica of an iconic structure from around the world, such as The Gherkin and Millau Cable.
The event, known as the Constraint Inventory Challenge, will be fully funded by the £20,000 grant and will take place in March 2024.
The award aims to encourage more people to start a career in construction
Nicola Sinclair, head of B&CE Charitable Trust, said: “We are delighted to launch the Construction Employability Award, which we hope will encourage more people to start a career in construction as well as help them to stay working in that field.
“This award aims to build on the huge success of the Mowlem Award, which has provided further opportunities to great organisations like Constructionarium. We hope their story inspires even more organisations to apply for the Construction Employability Award.”
