We aim to work with education facilities and construction companies to inspire the younger generation to take a different route, rather than the stereotypical career choices, introducing young people to the opportunities within Construction with a particular focus on young women and the LGBTQ Community. Working with groups from diverse backgrounds, ITG is passionate about the importance of school children realising their strengths and passion whilst helping them to leave school with confidence. Our goal is to deliver vocational qualifications as early as school Year 9, encouraging apprenticeships which helps combat the major skills shortage the construction industry faces. We utilise our extensive network with the construction industry - gaining support and guidance as to the key skills shortages, with companies providing tangible support to deliver educational and supportive programmes.
