Boosting Skills Pathways in Construction and the Built Environment
The UK construction sector is facing a critical workforce challenge, with over 250,000 skilled workers needed by 2028. In the West Midlands, demand is surging, with job postings up by nearly 50% in just a year. SIPS Education is at the forefront of addressing this gap, connecting young people with leading employers through innovative careers programmes. From employer-led workshops to hands-on workplace visits, we’re inspiring the next generation of construction professionals. Join us in building clear pathways into one of the region’s most vital and rapidly growing sectors, ensuring a brighter future for our communities and young talent.
