Careers Fair 2023

We attended our first Careers Fair of 2023, at Queen Margaret Academy yesterday, along with our friends from hub South West Scotland.

The event, organised by DYW Ayrshire, was well attended by S3-S6 pupils and parents & guardians were also welcomed.

We spoke to the students about apprenticeship opportunities and careers in construction, the different pathways school leavers can go down to reach their destinations and how woman can excel in the construction industry

Primary School Competition

We recently held a competition at Locharbriggs Primary School and Noblehill Primary School.

We recently held a competition at Locharbriggs Primary School and Noblehill Primary School, as part of a Health & Safety campaign we are running in conjunction with the refurbishment and extension works currently taking place within the schools.

After presenting to both schools about site safety, making the children aware of potential site hazards and discussing the importance of PPE and site signage, we asked pupils from each school to design a Health & Safety poster that would raise awareness of the possible dangers onsite.

2023 Build Ayrshire Programme

Thank you to hub South West Scotland, for inviting Lauren Cahir and Beth Purden, to present at the 'Meet the Buyer' session of the 2023 Build Ayrshire programme.

Good luck to all the Ayrshire businesses participating, we look forward to seeing everyone's presentations on the final day.

South Ayrshire Futures Event

We had a fantastic evening at the ‘South Ayrshire Futures’ event last night at Ayr Racecourse.

There was some great discussions about careers in construction and we provided lots of eager young people with information on our apprenticeship programme. Thank you to DYW Ayrshire for organising and thanks to our construction partners at hub South West Scotland for their support.

A ‘day in the life’

We recently had two students from the HNC Construction Management class, on site shadowing a ‘day in the life’.

As part of our Work Experience Programme in Partnership with Glasgow Clyde College, we recently had two students from the HNC Construction Management class, on site shadowing a ‘day in the life’ of our Health & Safety Advisor, Stuart McQuade.

Construction Curriculum Manager, Allan Dickie said “Anthony and Jack, are halfway through their HNC Construction Management course and doing well, both students agreed that witnessing first-hand how things operate on site was invaluable to their intended vocations within construction, and they now intend to go on to year 2 of the Construction degree programme at Caledonian University.”
