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

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS FOR A NEW GENERATION OF TRAINEE BUILDING INSPECTORS: 30 new places after 2,000 apply to join LABC’s trainee academy The response has just been amazing, says chief executive, Lorna Stimpson A training scheme for building inspectors, which has attracted nearly 2,000 applicants so far, is launching its fourth recruitment drive. There are 30 places available in the latest cohort of LABC’s (Local Authority Building Control) Academy, with trainees starting work in local authorities across England from June 2024. It follows the success of LABC’s three earlier recruitment drives which saw each round oversubscribed after the decision to permanently fund a training academy. “In the first two recruitment rounds we had more than a thousand applicants in total, and the third round alone saw nearly 800 people wanting to join our profession,” said LABC chief executive Lorna Stimpson. “We’re seeking new recruits who are technically minded, like problem solving, are keen to learn and looking for a rewarding career in public service. https://lnkd.in/epbwgDcG #construction #build #design #advertsing #pr #news #magazine #b2bmarketing #newsletter #emailmarketing

Now is the perfect time to set goals for personal and professional growth. If you're eager to embark on a career in the skilled trades or construction industry, here are 6 programs to get started

This is a great insight for everyone in the construction industry. There are many companies out there that make a bachelor’s degree mandatory to be a project manager for their firms, which takes some of their own most valuable assets out of the running. The principles of business that are taught in the classroom are essential but can be taught relatively quickly to a tradesman but you CANNOT teach anyone the “knowledge of experience” that tradesmen and women would bring with them to these positions. This knowledge is invaluable and can be essential to success of projects.

Knowledgeable is an understatement.

Great internship opportunity

October is Careers in Construction Month! 👷♀️ 👷♂️ 🏗 🚧 All October long, organizations across the country make an effort to highlight different careers within the industry, to talk about construction, reach students and celebrate the industry! Over the course of this month we will be highlighting individuals at Pulice who, although are in very different positions, contribute to the industry in #great ways! Meet Kevin Koch! Kevin is our Project Safety Manager in Texas! 1. How did you get into the construction industry?   "When I left the military, I entered the construction industry to support my growing family. Building structures that will be around for a long time really intrigued me and kept my interest focused looking forward." 2. What is something that you enjoy about the industry or about your position? "I enjoy the differences in the people you encounter from site to site. It is exciting to be exposed to the diversity of the local and project cultures."   3. What advice would you give to someone interested in a career in construction? "Enter the industry with an open mind, as construction with all the diversity is still one of the only industries left that you could grow from bottom to the top, no matter your background or previous experience. Construction is full of experienced people willing to help with your personal growth. However, the construction has so many different possibilities find the one you are looking for as if you love what you do you will be more likely to stick with it and have a successful and productive career." #CareersInConstruction #Safety #Pulice #GreatPeopleBuildGreatThings #FutureIsBright
