Scoop: Building Careers Month showcases opportunities: "BCITO chief executive Ruma Karaitiana says many young people venture down a training or career path without having a clear idea of what it’s really like to work in that industry or the variety of job opportunities that might be available.
BCITO Building Careers Month is about showcasing career options in the construction industry to help make the picture clearer for anyone interested in a building career, he says.
Activities during BCITO Building Careers Month include “behind the scenes” site visits for high school students as well as a series of breakfast events and information evenings to highlight pathways into the industry, career opportunities and to showcase the benefits to employers of training an apprentice.
Mr Karaitiana says Building Careers Month has become an important tool in highlighting the benefits of choosing a career in building and construction.
“Taking on a building apprenticeship is about more than just getting a qualification; it’s about choosing a lifestyle. Building Careers Month helps get that message out there, and as the demand for highly-skilled labour continues to grow, we need more people in apprenticeship training to develop the professional workforce that the industry needs.”
Building Careers Month culminates in the announcement of the winners of the BCITO Build-Ability Challenge,"
