The highways and transport sector offers a diverse range of career opportunities, from engineering and technology to construction, maintenance, project management and innovation. However, many people are still unaware of the opportunities available and the different routes into the industry.
We’re looking to change that by developing a new Highways Career Pathways Hub – an online resource designed to help people explore the wide range of roles within our sector and understand the different pathways into a rewarding career.
To make this resource as valuable and representative as possible, we’re encouraging organisations from across the highways and transport sector to get involved by making an Employer Pledge.
Why get involved?
Whether you are a local authority, contractor, consultant, supplier or technology provider, your organisation has an important role to play in showcasing the opportunities available.
By supporting the Hub, you can help:
- Raise awareness of the variety of careers available across highways and transport.
- Inspire future talent, including young people, students and those considering a career change.
- Showcase career pathways, from apprenticeships and graduate schemes to vocational training and professional development.
- Support the sector’s future workforce by helping attract new talent and address skills challenges.
We’re delighted that a number of organisations have already pledged their support for the Hub, demonstrating their commitment to promoting careers and helping attract the next generation of talent into our sector.
Our thanks go to: CORMAC, Founds Group, Heidelberg Materials, Leeds City Council, Sheffield City Council, Velocity and West Northamptonshire Council.
Make your Employer Pledge
By completing the Employer Pledge form, your organisation can demonstrate its support and provide information that could be shared through the LCRIG website to highlight career opportunities and pathways within your organisation.
We want to hear from organisations of all sizes and across every part of the sector. Every contribution will help create a more comprehensive picture of the opportunities available.
