Supporting Young People in Construction

Langley is an advocate of Construction Youth Trust and actively participate in their work, supporting young people into the construction industry. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the typical activities via Construction Youth Trust had to be reworked and managed through utilising digital platforms. The Trust approached Langley to participate in supporting the Trust’s work by volunteering to mock interview candidates looking for part-time and full-time work in construction. Mark Dunn, Head of Training was assigned to be an interviewer and prepared questions to ask each individual.

One candidate, Shahnawaz Bunglawala, was looking for an entry-level career in surveying. Several weeks after his mock interview with Mark Dunn, Langley wanted to find out how successful the exercise had been by asking him some questions. His feedback confirmed that the exercise was very useful in his application for jobs and interview opportunities thereafter and offers the potential for Langley to support in this way in the future.
