GOLDBECK commits to three-year schools partnership to inspire Cardiff’s future construction talent
GOLDBECK has launched a new long-term education initiative in Cardiff, committing to support three local primary schools as part of a programme designed to introduce young children to enterprise, careers and the wider world of construction.
Working in partnership with 2B Enterprising, GOLDBECK will partner with three schools across Cardiff for an initial three-year period, with the ambition of creating a lasting legacy in the communities where it continues to deliver major regional projects, with the completion of a new multi-story car park at Central Quay plus undertaking a new multi-story car park construction at Atlantic Wharf.
The schools involved in the programme are Ysgol GG Glan Morfa, Ysgol GG Hamadryad and Adamsdown Primary School, supporting Year 3 and Year 4 pupils aged between seven and nine. As part of the initiative, colleagues from across the GOLDBECK team will deliver at least three educational sessions each year at every school.
Matthew Creeden for GOLDBECK said: “Construction is about more than the buildings we leave behind. It’s also about the impact we create within the communities around us. By working with schools in Cardiff, we want to help young people understand the opportunities that exist within our industry and hopefully inspire future careers, confidence and curiosity from an early age.”
