Serious About Youth (SAY), Bovis (formerly Lendlease) and Neilcott are delivering an exciting free in-person initiative for sixth form students (Years 12 & 13) and unemployed young people aged 18 – 25 years old called ‘Construkt’, which is an immersive programme with live opportunities attached, delivered during the Summer holidays from 4th – 15th August 2025 at the Teviot Centre, Wyvis Street, E14 6QD to give young people exposure to the wide range of great opportunities in engineering and construction.

The programme is open to young people from all London boroughs; however, we are particularly targeting young people that live or go to school/college in Westminster, Newham, Camden, Wandsworth, Southwark, Lambeth, Kensington & Chelsea, City of London,  and Brent, and would particularly like to encourage females to take part. The closing date for registrations Sunday 27^th July at 11.59pm. 

The programme will take participants through the whole life cycle of a construction/engineering project to expose them to the wide range of career pathways in the sector such as project management, design/3D modelling, trade roles, admin roles etc. During the programme participants will:

• Engage and work with construction/engineering professionals from a range of leading industry firms (Bovis, Laing O’Rourke and more)
• Do a live site visit
• Undertake Building Information Modelling (BIM) digital design work
• Deliver a tender presentation to industry professionals
• Build a large-scale timber structure with support from engineers!
• Take part in a networking and presentation event with companies and professionals with opportunities

Travel and lunch will be covered for participants during the programme, and we will be supporting participants into jobs, apprenticeships, work experience and further education opportunities after the programme.
