Lincoln Have-A-Go Construction Day, Wednesday 2nd October 2019
The Lincoln Have-A-Go construction event is now in its 17th year. In 2018 the event was attended by just under 1,000 young people from 41 local schools. Building on this success we are delighted to be able to extend the event to include delegates from other Network partner organisations.
Held in Lincolnshire, this interactive event is organised by the LGTA and supported by a number of local construction companies, The Education Business Partnership (EBP), Lincoln College and the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB).
This bespoke session is aimed at individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in construction and to staff who want to learn more about this key sector and forge stronger links with local employers. The session will raise awareness of the diverse careers within the Construction Industry, provide guidance regarding how to get into the industry and put potential employees in direct contact with local construction employers.
The session will run after the schools finish, between 2.50pm – 4.45pm.
The draft programme is as follows:
• 2.50pm Arrival and refreshments
• 3.00pm Welcome and Health & Safety briefing
• 3.15pm Have-A-Go activities – Session 1
• 3.45pm Have-A-Go activities – Session 2
• 4.15pm Routes into construction employment / Next Steps / Q and A
• 4.45pm Close
All activities will be run by construction employers and/or college tutors. The exact activities to be offered are yet to be confirmed but are likely to include Joinery / Roofing, Brickwork, Electrical, Plumbing, Surveying, Plastering, Mini Diggers, Heritage Skills and Highways / Traffic Management.
This event is available free of charge, but places are limited so please let us know as soon as possible if you would like some places reserving. Please note delegates will need to make their own way to the Showground.
