Doing it what is says on the high-vis!

Build Academy is doing exactly what it set out to do - Building Construction Careers!

An inspiring new pilot project, for which Annie is thrilled to be on the Steering Group with other London members of the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), aims to find employment for the young people on the course as their first step on a career in construction.

SME builders have devised a curriculum so that key trades are taught to the students as well as master classes from Master Builders to develop their skills further. Through engagement with members of the FMB the young people are given the opportunity to experience at least two work placements creating the best opportunity to secure employment and the chance to go on to study for an apprenticeship with their new employer.

On a recent visit to the Build Academy Annie explains "What an inspiring visit last week with Brian Berry, CEO of the FMB. I was blown away by the young people's enthusiasm and commitment to finding employment and to develop a career in construction."

In collaboration with Shooters Hill Sixth Form College, and with funding support from CITB, we are making a difference!
