Inspiring young people at Clapham Park D01 – Careers in Construction
Published 3 March 2022

Our site team at Clapham Park D01 and members of our office team were delighted to assist with a fantastic 3-day event hosted by the Construction Youth Trust and our client Metropolitan Thames Valley, as they introduced 17 young people into what a career in construction might look like.
The site team at Kind & Co talked about the live project we have on site within the estate and gave the students an insight into what and importantly who it takes to build out a scheme such as Clapham Park D01. Members of the team were also excited to be invited to sit on a panel of judges, as the students presented their own projects, which they had designed in teams as part of the course.
It is clear to see how inspiring these events are for young people…Our BDM Gemma Gallagher (another Kind & Co team member judging the students) commented:
‘When I asked for a show of hands, over 50% raised their arm, indicating they would consider a career in construction. It was great to see so much interest from these young people, who were clearly inspired by this 3-day programme. At Kind & Co we are always pleased to dedicate time to ensure we encourage future young talent into the industry!’
