New school leavers’ pack helps young people explore a future in building materials
Not sure what comes next after school? Whether you’ve just finished your exams, are taking a gap year, looking for your first job, or exploring apprenticeships, a new guide from BMCareers could help you discover a career path you never knew existed.
The new School Leavers’ Pack is designed to show young people the huge range of opportunities available across the UK’s building materials industry.
Many people don’t realise that the sector behind the homes, schools, hospitals and infrastructure we use every day offers careers in customer service, sales, marketing, logistics, operations, sustainability, technical specialisms and leadership.
The guide explains how apprenticeships, trainee programmes and entry-level roles can provide a direct route into a long-term career, with opportunities to earn while you learn and progress quickly.
It also highlights what employers are really looking for: a positive attitude, reliability, communication skills, teamwork and a willingness to learn. Previous industry experience isn’t needed to get started.
One inspiring case study featured in the pack is Kasey Barnes, who joined the industry in a customer service role and progressed to Marketing Manager in less than four years while completing apprenticeship qualifications.
The School Leavers’ Pack is packed with practical advice, career inspiration and information about the many routes into an industry that is modern, technology-driven, sustainability-focused and full of opportunity.
