Lancashire-based building company Construction Partnership UK (CPUK) Group’s specialist Civils & Remediation division is spearheading a drive to get more young people interested in a career in the industry.
It has played a major role in developing a special event hosted by The Manchester College that will be attended by more than 200 14 and 15-year-olds from 11 schools over two days this week.
The construction and civil engineering sectors face a worrying skills shortage and the open days are part of the growing effort to raise awareness of the opportunities that exist for young people.
West Lancashire headquartered CPUK has worked in partnership with Novus, machine simulation expert Tenstar and the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) to develop the event at The Manchester College’s Openshaw campus on June 26 and 27.
