Programme Information

One of our signature programmes, ‘Educate – Learning in Action,’ unites multi-industry partners and local government to host engaging and educational construction site visits for young people aged 13 to 16. These carefully curated site days provide hands-on learning experiences designed to spark curiosity and inspire interest in the vast range of career opportunities within the construction industry.

Participants gain exposure to both professional and trade roles, offering insights into educational and apprenticeship pathways that support future careers in areas such as project management, structural engineering, design, sustainability, health and safety, and specialist trades.

By showcasing real-world applications and innovations in construction, the programme helps demystify the industry, encourage diversity, and promote social mobility by highlighting accessible and rewarding career paths for underrepresented groups, including women and minorities. These site visits not only bridge the gap between classroom learning and practical experience but also foster a sense of possibility and ambition for the next generation of construction leaders.


I am thrilled that the first ever Constructing Change Site will be at our Rochdale and Littleborough scheme. Supporting our young people through this ground breaking initiative aligns with our aim of driving positive social outcomes, leaving a lasting legacy of more inclusive and sustainable futures for the people of Rochdale and Littleborough.
