Hard hats, hot coffee, and a room full of industry voices came together at Gower College Swansea’s Sketty Hall Business School for an event focused on shaping the future of the built environment.

The College welcomed employers from the region including Morganstone, Andrew Scott, Cyfle, CP Engineering, James Brothers Co, and Swansea Council, alongside sector specialists, to connect, share insights, and influence the direction of construction and the built environment training across Wales.

Are you part of the construction sector and looking to stay ahead in the industry? Join us for Hard Hats and Hot Coffee, an exclusive event designed to help employers explore the latest training and apprenticeship opportunities at Gower College Swansea, while networking with industry peers.

This year, ColegauCymru, on behalf of their member colleges, signed an agreement with Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) in a move to support the provision of construction qualifications and support for learners, apprentices and employers across Wales. 

This comes as the industry continues to demand talent, qualifications and skills that are fit for purpose, future proofed and that will support the Welsh economy in the long term. The Agreement will strengthen the relationship between FE colleges and the construction industry in Wales. 

Students from Gower College Swansea were treated to a recent site visit to Swansea University Bay Campus’ residential development thanks to Swansea-based RDM Electrical and Mechanical Services, who are helping the students to plan their futures for a career in the electrical and mechanical services industry. 

The Level 2 Construction students were welcomed by RDM and viewed the works the company is completing for VINCI Construction UK, based around the mechanical and electrical works at the residential development phase 1C site.
