Collaboration, not duplication. 🏗️
One message keeps coming through in conversations I’m having with colleges, employers and strategic partners across Wales:
“We need the pipeline.”
There is some fantastic training and apprenticeship provision already available across Wales.
But having provision doesn’t automatically mean that young people and adults know how to get there — or, importantly, what happens afterwards.
That’s where I believe collaboration is key.
Constructa Pathways isn’t being developed to compete with colleges or existing provision. It’s being developed to connect it.
Schools & referral partners
➡️ Industry insight & practical experiences
➡️ Construction and green careers
➡️ CSCS & job readiness
➡️ Employer engagement
➡️ College / Apprenticeship / Employment
➡️ Qualifications & career progression
We’re increasingly hearing from colleges that they see Constructa Pathways as the pipeline into their provision.
And that is exactly what we want it to become.
A young person shouldn’t have to understand the construction training system to find a career in construction.
We should build a pathway that makes it clear for them.
There’s a huge opportunity for colleges, employers, housing organisations, local authorities, Careers Wales, DWP, training providers and the wider construction industry to collaborate rather than operate in isolation.
We’re starting to join those pieces together across Wales.
Building Skills. Creating Futures.
