Gipping are proud to have recently become sponsors of Inspire Suffolk who do such great work to help young people.
We are also looking forward to hosting some work taster days and placements which we hope may inspire young people to follow a career in construction. The first of these ‘World of Work’ Days will be held at our Ravenswood site on Wednesday March 13th when we will welcome ten young people who will have taster sessions in five different trades: plumbing, electrical, scaffolding, bricklaying and plastering. This is all being done with the support of our sub-contractors who are giving their time and expertise to hopefully inspire these young people and give them a taste of construction life.
The day is also being supported by the CITB who are sending a representative along to give a talk on training opportunities in local colleges.
Gipping have also committed to providing staff to do mock interviews, Q&A sessions and offer work experience placements.
It is our hope that our contribution to Inspire Suffolk will help improve the lives and provide opportunities for even more young people by giving them access to education, training, and valuable practical experience.
