More than 40 employers forged links with construction students from City College Norwich on Wednesday 22nd October at an event to connect young people with work placement and apprenticeship opportunities in the industry.
Bright Futures Live, organised by Construction East, Norfolk Constructing Excellence Club, and City College Norwich, enabled hundreds of face-to-face conversations to take place between students and employers. With so many employers coming together, students were able to find out about a diverse range of opportunities – spanning architecture, civil engineering, structural engineering, groundworks, property development, project management, quantity surveying, electrical installation, scaffolding, bricklaying and much more.
The two floors of the college’s Construction Skills Hub, which is normally used for teaching plumbing and electrical skills, was transformed into a thriving exhibition space for the event which was attended by around 600 students.
Each student provided a short biography ahead of the event, including specific areas of work they are interested in, to make it as easy as possible to match them with suitable opportunities.
The idea for the event was borne out of the requirement for students on the T Level in Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction to complete at least 315 hours on a work placement. The college’s construction department recognised that the opportunity to meet directly with employers would be beneficial for all its students and so – with the help of Construction East and Norfolk Constructing Excellence Club – the event developed into something much bigger.
In addition to talking to employers, students were given the chance to get hands-on with bricklaying, thanks to East Anglia Brickwork, and to put on VR headsets to see how virtual reality has become a valuable project management tool in the industry.
Students also gained insights into different aspects of the industry through a series of employer talks – covering bricklaying, quantity surveying, what it’s like to be a construction apprentice, Scott Taylor’s career journey from apprentice carpenter to business owner, and mental health and wellbeing at work.
Arjan Meijer, Managing Director at KLM UK Engineering Limited, accepts the Innovation Award at the UKTI Investment Awards Dinner 2015. The UKTI Investment Awards dinner was celebrating Dutch companies that have invested or expanded their operations in the UK during the 12 months up until June 2015. The innovation category is an investment project that either brings something new to the market or approaches a sector in an original manner. KLM UK Engineering accepted the award in relation to the new Norwich International Aviation Academy.
The Norwich International Aviation Academy (NIAA) project represents a ground-breaking partnership between KLM UK Engineering, Norwich International Airport, Aviation Skills Partnership, University of East Anglia and City College Norwich, supported by investment from the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership and local government, to secure a pipeline of trained aviation professionals to support the skills needs of the local economy and wider aviation sector. The NIAA will deliver a variety of aviation-based courses ranging from aircraft engineering to ground operations and cabin crew training. In the case of aircraft engineering, students can join programmes from the age of 16 and progress onto a BSc (Hons) degree in Professional Aircraft Engineering Practice, from the age of 18. KLM UK Engineering will deliver the courses and transfer its current Technical College into the NIAA. Unlike other aviation degree programmes, this course is designed to meet the needs of employers and will include a full EASA Licence programme along with industry specific training covering topics such as Threat and Error Management. The NIAA will include an operational aircraft, which will allow students to gain real life practical experience to augment their theoretical knowledge. Students will also have access to the latest maintenance software and will be encouraged to develop the necessary behaviours and soft skills required to be effective in the aviation industry.
A new research study byFuture Foundationon behalf ofFEPE International, a global organization representing the world’s major out-of-home (OOH) media owners and leading OOH agency specialists and suppliers, has found that consumers rate out-of-home advertising as the next most trustworthy medium compared with broadcast television (24% against 28%). Traditional print media comes next on 22% with online being ranked as the least trustworthy with just 3% of consumers.
The research was carried out by Future Foundation in summer 2014 and included a 20-minute online questionnaire sampling 1000 consumers aged 18-64 living and working in the largest cities in the UK, Germany, Spain, Turkey, Brazil and South Africa. This is believed to be the biggest international study into out-of-home advertising perceptions undertaken to date.
When asked which types of advertising are the most memorable, 46% of consumers voted for television, 34% for out-of-home media and just 7% for print media. Online media scored only 4%.
The research also shows that half of urban consumers agree with the statement “I like it when I see advertisements for products I already own,” increasing to 54% of those aged 18-34. This post-purchase reassurance effect is particularly marked in technology products and again highlights that OOH is a trusted ad medium.
FEPE International Executive Director John Ellery says: “We’re all aware of the power of TV and the growth of online advertising. Butthis major research study showsthat out-of-home is a major force in the digital age as it is so highly valued by consumers. The growth of digital outdoor and NFC technology that allows consumers to interact with digital posters will only accelerate this trend.”
[Out-of-Home Media Study Underscores the Value of Outdoor Advertising; Outdoor Advertising Drives Interaction]
According to FEPE’sAlways On study, eight in ten urban consumers have taken some form of action in response to an out-of-home advertisement. For example, looking up information immediately or later, discussing it with someone else at the time, or proceeding to a purchase. while second to TV advertising with regard to being most memorable. Advertisers who continue to combine OOH media with TV are well placed to cut through the growing noise and maximize their impact with target audiences.
FEPE’s research also showed that 62% of urban consumers would be interested in a digital Out of Home (DOOH) advertisement that showed them information relevant to their specific location or time of day. Key driver include a strong desire among consumers for connection with their local community: 59% agree strongly or moderately that “I like to keep informed about what is happening in my local area (e.g. shop openings, events)”.
FEPE International is a global out-of-home association working to promote and improve the OOH industry on behalf of its members that include: JCDecaux, Clear Channel, Exterion, Ströer and Cemusa. Membership is open to all companies who operate in the OOH sector and as a non-profit federation funds are reinvested in industry issues such as research and the annual international congress.

In 2014, Chinese outward direct investment (ODI) entered a new stage, with more Chinese companies investing in more industries in more countries. According to the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, non-financial ODI in 2014 reached US$102.9 billion, an annual increase of 14.1 percent*. China is increasingly seeking to invest in advanced, innovative countries with the UK ranking as third globally out of 144 countries, according to the Pinsent Masons and Cebr Infrastructure Investment Attractiveness Index**. Chinese investment is happening in a range of new sectors including real estate, construction, infrastructure, high technology, agribusiness and manufacturing.
As such, stakeholders are seeking to better understand the environmental and social risks faced by Chinese investors. By learning from and avoiding the mistakes of other countries, China can better manage the investment risks associated with environmental and social issues, whilst simultaneously becoming a leader in integrating sustainability into overseas investments.
Alex Ferguson presented an overview ofbrownfield redevelopmentin the UK to the conference, stating “The UK has a mature real estate market with a cycle of development of land. Due diligence is required at each stage to consider environment andsustainability, ensuring that investment value is protected”.
