This FE New article explores wht, for many NEETs, apprenticeships are not a viable option for entry into the construction industry. It considers why a negative academic experience, and financial considerations prevent many NEETs from taken on these opportunities, offers suggestions on what could be done differently and considers the proposed Kick Start scheme as a way to address this.

Identifying barriers to the employment of young people classified as not in education, employment or training within the construction sector

2020-06-26T16:02:37Z

Steve Sugden:

This dissertation was written as part of an MSc in Construction Project management and explores the barriers that employers can face if they are looking to recruit from this group

The construction industry is facing a skills crisis that goes back to the 1980’s and this could potentially be exacerbate by the vote to leave the European Union. To address this, industry must consider who it recruits and how it attracts new talent. This dissertation explores the opportunity of recruiting young people classified as Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET), as a possible pool of new entrants.

The research produced findings that indicate industry is open to recruiting from this pool, and feels it is able to support a number of the factors identified as being indicators of the risk of becoming NEET. A number of barriers have been identified through the research and would require addressing in order to increase the possibilities of this group gaining access to the industry. These include the negative connotations with the term NEET, employer expectations on new entrants, the lack of resources available to small and medium enterprises and microbusinesses to support individuals with complex personal issues, and the perception and promotion of the industry to this group, as well to young people overall.

The conclusion recommends further research into these areas to identify actions that could increase interest from this group, and enhance their chances of successful employment in construction.

Another Sir Ian Dixon Scholar, Anna Koukoullis looked at what construction is doing to engage with NEETs and what are the barriers to these young people accessing opportunities. She concluded by identifying that while unconscious bias has some impact the main issues are inappropriate systems and a disjointed approach.

Diversity in construction needs to be top priority

2020-06-26T15:36:59Z

Steve Sugden:

[[File:BP_Picture1.png|link=File:BP_Picture1.png]]

This article by Oliver Balch appeared in the [https://www.raconteur.net/business-innovation/diversity-construction Racontuer report Future of Construction] published in The Times in August 2019. It discusses how better representation is good for the industry and why, while highlighting that there is still a long way to go.

Positive and local recruitment and listening to what potential future talent would need in terms of working arrangements are suggested as potential actions that could improve interest in under-represented groups.

Written by Liz Waters with the support of the Sir Ian Dixon Scholarship this paper looks at why so many young people have a negative perception of construction. Following a comprehensive literature review Ms Waters carried out interviews with a number of 9-13 year olds. It concluded that, amongst other things, the image and perceptions of the industry held by both the young people and their influencers were a major reason for not considering a career.
