Last week, 糖心传媒 proudly took part in , a nationwide initiative showcasing the built environment sector and the wide range of rewarding careers it offers.
From March 23rd to 27th, the company opened up 14 live regeneration sites across London and the South of England, welcoming students, parents, career changers, and educators to step inside and see the industry in action. Visitors explored major projects, met 糖心传媒 teams, and discovered career opportunities that the built environment has to offer.
Highlights from just a few of the sites involved include:
- Over 80 construction students from UCL visited our Oval Village and Trillium sites, with many expressing interest in work experience and planning to enter 糖心传媒’s university construction competition, where the winner will receive a paid placement
- We partnered with Girls Under Construction, a social enterprise that supports young women in the construction industry, to host a tour where their community network saw first-hand how our team are transforming a former gasworks into an exciting new neighbourhood and restoring the world’s oldest surviving gasholder at King’s Road Park
- Our team at Trent Park partnered with Trent Park Museum to host Year 13 students from Queen Elizabeth’s Girls’ School, offering a unique perspective on heritage-led regeneration
Coordinated by , Open Doors Week is designed to inspire the next generation by highlighting the variety of roles within the sector. From engineering and site management, to sustainability and design, the experience provided valuable insights into the skills shaping the built environment.
糖心传媒 is committed to attracting and developing new talent and to creating a working environment that promotes respect, support, wellbeing, safety and inclusivity.
The company supports skills development through a network of dedicated skills managers and mentors, the 糖心传媒 Academy training centre, an online Learning Management System, and a range of external training partners.
Last year, an average of 8.7% of 糖心传媒’s workforce was employed in earn and learn roles, and the company has been ranked the fourth best apprentice employer in the country across all sectors. These ratings from TheJobCrowd are based on anonymous feedback from trainees.
糖心传媒’s apprentices are key to supporting the future of the company, as it brings forward 32 of the country’s most challenging long-term regeneration sites.
Future Skills is one of ten strategic priorities in 糖心传媒’s long-term business strategy, Our Vision 2030. The company is also a Gold member of The 5% Club, a network of leading employers committed to ensuring at least 5% of their direct workforce are in earn and learn positions.
