E G Carter & Co Ltd are able to provide work experience opportunities for local pupils so that children can get an idea of the many career options open to them in the modern construction industry. Local Primary schools in the vicinity of our construction sites are given a SPLAAT (Safe Play at All Times) interactive talk which highlights the danger of playing on or near building sites.
We encourage pupils to utilise our construction activities as the basis for projects. A popular theme is to bury a time capsule on site for future generations to find, which would give an insight into how we currently live our lives.
We also attend school employment fairs with our trainees and apprentices so that they can provide first-hand experience of their training and development.
As part of our service, we also arrange mock interviews with pupils so that they can experience being interviewed for a job by an independent person who will provide vital feedback for this most important occasion.
