Register for Open Doors 2025

PEOPLE interested in a career in construction are now able to register to attend Open Doors 2025, which returns 17-22 March.

Open Doors offers a unique opportunity for young people and career switchers to see live construction sites behind the scenes.

They can learn about a career in construction through site tours and ask construction professionals questions.

Open Doors 2025

Construction is a lucrative career. The average UK construction worker’s salary is over £44,000 – £9,000 more than the average UK salary. There are more than 180 different occupations in construction and over 100 different construction apprenticeships for people at every stage of their life.

Tim Balcon, CITB Chief Executive said: “Open Doors is for the construction industry to demonstrate the benefits of a career in construction – the valuable skills to be learnt, the sense of accomplishment seeing a project completed, and the well-paid roles available.

Julie White, Build UK Chair said: “While the tours themselves provide intriguing backdrops to explore the range of roles available, they are also a unique opportunity to talk to construction leaders and apprentices about their route into the industry.

CITB’s skills report revealed that the construction industry needs to recruit 50,000 new workers a year until 2028.

The event is being delivered by Build UK in partnership with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and CSCS who are encouraging people to book a place and attend.
