TClarke reaches out to attract more talented young people

Working with the Construction Youth Trust and the Stanhope Foundation at their Insight Day, TClarke introduced groups of young people to some of the latest Smart Buildings technology.

The Stanhope Foundation’s Insight Day brought 18 young people from year 12 (16-17 years old) to their offices to learn about some of the benefits of a career in construction.  They were all participants in the Construction Youth Trust’s programme which supports young people into Level 4 – 6 apprenticeships into construction (this programme is funded through the Stanhope Foundation).

The aim of the day was simple: to inspire young people with the range of opportunities within the industry and help them develop skills for the apprenticeship recruitment process. To this end, the participants engaged in activities with TClarke, Savills and Granger Reiss.

TClarke’s Group CEO Mark Lawrence commented:

“We’re delighted to work with the Construction Youth Trust and support the Stanhope Foundation over the long term as we do, to play our part in reaching out to the most diverse range of young people possible. We’re happy to commit the work time of our professional teams to this programme because it is a great way for us to reach out directly, present to – and also listen to – young people. I hope that for those involved, the idea of picking construction as an industry and TClarke as their preferred destination, moved a few steps closer. We’re growing and we’re on the hunt for talent.”
