Creating a Talent Pipeline
This is all about attracting more people to the sector and giving them clear career paths. We seek to do this by :
- supporting the new members of our Foundations Group to extend their social media presence to inspire people to join the sector https://www.ceca.co.uk/wales/foundation-group
- launching the CECA Wales Foundation Group careers booklet titled “Ever thought of a civil engineering career in Wales?” which will be shared with all of Wales’ schools and colleges and will be free for members to use in their social value engagement
- working with CITB and other industry partners to deliver Civils Training Hubs in the north and south of Wales which will provide a focus for showcasing work opportunities for a new generation of civil engineering and plant operatives
- working with Medr, the new body overseeing tertiary education, to review the recently launched Construction and Built Environment qualifications at GCSE, A-level and Foundation Apprentice level
- finalising the development of new resources, via our Foundations Group, to support the new Welsh curriculum and promote an improved delivery model for social value
- supporting and promoting alternative pathways into the industry via the new Civils Training Hubs, including routes for employing ex-offenders and ex-Forces personnel.
