Build Your Future
Build Your Future is an annual schools construction challenge, designed to raise the profile of the construction industry as a career choice to over 300 S2 pupils, their parents, and teachers. The event was brought to the North East by Grampian Construction Training, who asked us to handle the event organisation.
Every secondary school in the North East was invited to enter a team of ten S2 pupils to take part in an initial half-day heat, comprising of three construction-based tasks. These heats took place in different locations across the North East, and our team handled all aspects of the heats including school engagement, transport, liaising with colleges, universities and construction firms, securing sponsorships, media relations, supporting the design of tasks, and overseeing filming and photography.
The final event took place at Aberdeen Football Club, with 100 pupils from the ten finalist schools competing in a full day of construction challenges, and one team going on to be crowned the outright winner. We handled all aspects of this event, including design of marketing materials, sponsorship opportunities, exhibition, task timetable, and coordinating health and safety documentation.
