  1. These types of schemes are a very good idea.

    The industry does tend to be negatively viewed by many not working within it.
    Which has not been helped by such TV programs like Cowboy Builders etc.
    However, with the right experienced people promoting the benefits and achievements that can be gained by working with in it, along with the importance of the industry, I believe we can inspire the construction workers of the future and the develop the talent that is needed within it.
    We do have a long heritage of architects, designers and construction workers that have sculpted, evolved and developed the industry into what it is today, which has been copied throughout the world, and it is this that needs to be brought to the attention of our future generations.
    I certainly recognised from a very early age how important the industry is.
    There is a need to pull away from the old traditions and embrace the new technologies and materials advancement that are now been made available, this is, in my opinion, why we are not attracting people into the industry, as new construction professionals wanting to be involved are getting frustrated by the old generations not wanting to change, and it is this that is putting them off wanting to join the industry.
    I have had very good and positive experiences and some solid training i.e. CITB, that has help me progress, and even though it can at times be hard, the sense of accomplishment certainly outweighs the negatives.
