'An industry we wouldn’t have otherwise explored'.
Many schools don’t always have the opportunity to learn about the construction industry and the wide range of careers it offers. To help change that, Kate Hughes, representing Integrated Services, delivered a presentation to Years 7–11 at Millais School, an all-girls’ secondary school in Horsham.
Kate spoke about her journey to becoming a project manager and highlighted the pathways into the industry. The session gave students a valuable chance to ask questions, gain insight and explore a role they might not have previously considered.
It was a fantastic opportunity to introduce construction as a potential career path, one that the school noted they may not otherwise have explored.
We would also like to thank our colleagues Andrew Cooper-Keith, who shared case studies on the younger generation and highlighted industry progress as an ally for women in construction, and Jess Peskett, who supported the presentation.
