Our hugely successful 2-week online pre-employment programme for London residents wanting a career in construction.
… a massive thank you to Usha, Tracy, and the rest of the team at Building Pathways. Plenty of support was provided along the way with various job opportunities… [the programme] definitely fulfilled my expectations.
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.
Our unique programmes are employer-led, meaning that industry professionals from our employer network lead on the design and delivery of the workshops and masterclasses and learners get direct access to employers with current opportunities, from trade to managerial roles.
Each programme includes:
- Employer-led workshops and masterclasses (co-delivered by construction industry professionals)
- CSCS Green card and L1 Health & Safety in a Construction Environment coach-facilitated training and tests
- Interview techniques & practice sessions
- Improve your CV tutorials
- Site Visit / Virtual Tours
- Access to work experience, local jobs & apprenticeships

In 2021 we ran 6 fully-funded BPA programmes and enrolled and worked with 86 individuals, many of whom have gone into employment in the industry or further training.

Now I am fully equipped with everything that I need to start working in the construction industry. I would definitely recommend Building Pathways to my friends or anyone that wants to get into the industry.

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.
