What do we see in the most successful construction management graduates? A willingness to get out there and learn as much as they can. Starting in a new industry is hectic - but learning about something you are passionate about is fun too.

The Construction Skills Network Industry Outlook highlighted the need for an additional 225,000 construction workers in the UK by 2027. Read more in PBC magazine about how our Bricklaying Training Hubs are addressing the skill gap - https://ow.ly/6EWL50PBQUN #Apprenticeships #PBCToday

Great to read such a positive story about construction in a publication not normally associated with the industry 🏗️👷🏼♀️ Rosilene Pinheiro paints a picture of life on site that shows what is possible for the industry, while also highlighting why it’s so important that more women are encouraged to explore careers in construction. This IMAGE Media article is also a great validation for Glenveagh Properties plc and their efforts to encourage diversity. Let’s hope that the ongoing efforts at improving the uptake of apprenticeships and encouraging female participation at all levels, bring us to a point where such an article isn’t so unusual! #womeninconstruction #construction #recruitment #apprenticeship #career #diversity Apprenticeship Ireland

Every young construction manager should have field experience. And not just a degree. Why? Book knowledge doesn't always translate easily to an actual construction site. And many of the textbooks are written by professors or engineers who've never turned a wrench. Can what they share be helpful? Of course. But nothing beats getting your hands dirty (even for a short season) to see what construction is really about. And here are two ways you can do this: 1. Instead of interning for a Project or Field Engineer role during the summer. Go work for a contractor on the trades side. Learn what it's like to get your hands dirty and do this every summer throughout college. 2. After college, interview with a contractor you want to work. Tell them you want to start in the field first. Then transfer to a PE, PM, or CM role later. Do this for a couple years. This approach may seem counterintuitive. But the field experience will help you become a better construction manager and leader. Earn the respect of your field crews. And be promoted faster because of the knowledge you will bring. Most CMs won't do this. But those who do will be significantly rewarded.

When it comes to pursuing a degree in construction or joining an apprenticeship program, one of the crucial factors to consider is whether the program is accredited. Accreditation serves as a quality assurance mechanism that ensures educational institutions and programs meet specific standards set by accrediting bodies. In the construction industry, where safety, knowledge, and skills play a significant role, seeking an accredited program becomes even more crucial. #newblogpost #constructioneducation #workforceeducation #constructionmanagement
