Pathways into Construction
In 2019 and 2020, Building Pathways successfully provided ground-breaking initiatives enabling diverse groups of Pathfinders to enter the construction industry, as part of the CITB’s Pathways into Construction Commission.
The programme targeted five distinct groups: veterans, women, CBE students, long-term unemployed and NEETs.
It was delivered across three South London boroughs, including Lewisham, Lambeth and Southwark where we had existing links and a plan for national expansion.
The objectives were:
To provide excellent pre-employment support to Pathfinders from underrepresented groups and help to prepare and connect them to relevant career and work outcomes.
To facilitate and support Pathfinder access to industry-led careers, information and advice, skills training, coaching and mentoring, pre-employment support, work experience placements and employment opportunities.
Outcomes:
Established a growing network of over 38 Tier 1 and SME construction contractors and developers operating across London, including Wates, Sir Robert McAlpine, Kier, Reliable Contractors, VGC group, AE Elkins and others.
Engaged 252 beneficiaries from across south London, organising and delivering 11 community-based construction information events and achieved over £730,000 of Social Value (as measured by National TOMS).
