Building is calling on all readers under 30 to take part in a piece of research into the views of young people on where the construction sector is headed.

The survey is available online and seeks to find out the views of those either studying for a construction qualification or working in the sector.

Construction suffers from serious skills shortages and urgently needs young people to join the industry to plug the gaps but has struggled to overcome negative perceptions of construction-related careers. 

Building wants to hear from the industry’s next generation who can use this as an opportunity to tell construction’s leaders about what they could do better to meet their needs. 

Building is urging readers to send the survey onto their younger colleagues for them to complete. 

The survey is open until Friday 5 April and readers can take part by following the link here.
