The Building Pathways Academy is our showcase pre-employment programme designed for small groups of individuals who are interested in working in construction. This 2-week (or 1-week condensed) online course comprising accredited training & qualifications, employability skills, careers advice, site visits, work experience and a guaranteed job or mock interview.
The overall aim of the project is to raise the profile of and remove barriers to the Construction and Built Environment industry and to represent it as an exciting career choice for unemployed people, both by means of personal experience and careers information, and through mentoring support.

I’m grateful to Building Pathways for helping me get more motivated to find a job. The team was very supportive. I passed my L1 Health & Safety and got my green card really quickly. Thank you for your help. I really love the job I’m in and I know that if I didn’t attend this course I might never be where I am today. Thank you!
We are extremely grateful for the support Building Pathways have provided to Merton and Carshalton colleges construction students. During 2000-2021 when opportunities to engage with employers were limited, our students benefited greatly from meeting employers virtually and gaining insight into the Construction Industry. The mentoring and additional support provided to a high needs learner, has seen him gain confidence and successfully achieve his Health & Safety certificate.
