Budding Brunels is an OCN accredited programme providing industry-led careers guidance for Year 12 students from diverse or disadvantaged backgrounds

Over the course of a 3-day workshop, students interact with young professionals working in construction, and through individual and team assignments they learn about the key skills required for a variety of industry roles. In addition to a site visit to a major live construction project, educational visits to universities and technology centres enable students to better understand the practical application of the theory they are studying at college.

For students who excel during the workshop, post-programme work placements are also available providing valuable experience that may be used to enhance UCAS applications and future employability. However, all participants stand to gain from this employer-led programme, which reaches students at a key decision making point in their academic and personal development.
