TRIP-HOSTING EMPLOYER
Our employer partners periodically host visits to their workplaces by groups of students, who get a chance to meet employees and ask questions. Volunteers and students then get to work on a challenge that gives a flavour of what the organisation does.
Construction Youth Trust is a charity whose aim is to inspire and enable young people to overcome barriers and discover a career in the construction and built environment sector. Social mobility is at the heart of their work and they prioritise supporting those young people from low income backgrounds, most likely to miss out on opportunities or facing barriers to employment. They help young people recognise their full career potential and discover opportunities that have never previously been presented to them.
