Encouraging Deaf Students to Consider a Career in Construction

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

It is important to make the construction industry accessible to everyone and encourage new people into the industry.

Sites should encourage the younger generation to consider a career in construction, by providing opportunities for students to try new skills and learn more about different trades and opportunities.

Below is an example of how a site has achieved this:

  • Three site visits from six pupils from the Royal College for the Deaf have been made to both office and construction areas, with students showing keen interest in industry opportunities;
  • The first was to observe the site in a quiet period, in which the students gained some experience in bricklaying, carpentry, fencing and mechanics;
  • As requested by the students the site opened up opportunities to visit during full flow construction activities.
