Construction Futures STEMstruct Programme

Construction Futures has partnered with Sentinus to pilot a 6-week STEM, construction-focused programme for primary schools. This is our first primary school programme which will run simultaneously in 8 schools across the Armagh, Banbridge, Craigavon, and Newry areas. Aimed at P7 pupils (ages 10–11), it will showcase construction careers and how each role helps bring a project to life.

This is a great opportunity for companies interested in promoting construction careers, particularly for those who may not have the time to design their own promotional outreach activities. It may also assist companies with social value requirements within contracts.

Minimal preparation is needed, just a few hours of one of your staff members' time at a scheduled session. If your company is interested in taking part in this pilot, please contact Fionnuala (fionnuala@constructionfuturesni.com) or Jenni (jenni@constructionfuturesni.com).
