CITB鈥檚 careers advice service, Go Construct, recently launched a new industry ambassador scheme in partnership with STEM Learning.
They are seeking volunteers 鈥 lots of them.
The scheme is run by CITB, on behalf of STEM, and has a target of 1,700 ambassadors by 2024.
Go Construct STEM ambassadors are construction professionals, from apprentices up to company directors, that promote the industry as a career choice. Ambassadors are required to engage with young people across the UK, from schools and workplaces to careers fairs and events.
CITB careers product manager Stephen George said: 鈥淲ithout knowing what鈥檚 available, young people that would have been great in construction could drift into other sectors. Our ambassadors help inspire the next generation. Not everyone has a role model at home or at school who inspires them to know what they want to do with their lives 鈥 sharing your story could be that spark.鈥
