Pupils at Torquay Academy will learn about career opportunities in construction
Morgan Sindall Construction is helping to inspire students at a school in Torquay, Devon, to consider a career in the construction industry.
The construction company has “adopted” Torquay Academy as part of a drive to raise the profile and perception of the construction industry as a career choice with young people.
Morgan Sindall Construction will engage with pupils at the school over the academic year to promote the range of employment opportunities available in construction.
