More placements opendoors to construction
The southern division of Midas Construction, based in Southampton, has focused on creating additional work experience placements for young people to support this aim – and many have led on to permanent job positions with the company.
Josh Burns, who studying for a qualification in construction and the built environment at Highbury College, said: ‘I’ve really enjoyed the placement, everyone has been very welcoming. I know I want to work in construction now, and I hope an opportunity with Midas will come up.
Fellow Highbury College construction student Anjay Chauhan, 19, is also doing work experience there.
