Background

Building Pathways has been set up to identify and secure work placements or apprenticeships within the construction industry for those from under-represented groups. It’s a network of construction industry employers, referral partners, training providers and specialist support organisations whose aim is to inspire, engage and support new and emerging talent from under-represented groups to pursue construction careers so they can achieve fulfilling careers and reach their potential.

We achieve this by:

• Collaborating with like-minded employers and organisations that are committed to increasing access to construction careers opportunities for diverse people
• Adding value to existing recruitment strategies
• Focusing on the provision of quality information and advice, signposting, skills assessment and access to employer-led skills training and career opportunities
• Providing an online platform to enhance connections between candidates and employers
