01 / A different view of working life
From construction and engineering to maintenance, events and production, there are people who build, inspect, repair, plan and support the work around us.
Discuss students’ interests and existing career ideas, then introduce unfamiliar jobs involving work at height and the teams behind them.
Explore the equipment, questions and planning that help people approach work safely, through accessible examples and presenter demonstrations.
Connect subjects, interests and personal strengths to college, apprenticeships and career routes students can investigate further.
02 / Session options
Choose a standard format or ask us to shape the content around a particular subject. Timings and delivery are agreed to suit each school or college.
An engaging introduction to the world of work at height, with industry stories, unfamiliar roles and time for students’ questions.

Focused sessions for groups rotating through your careers day, adapted to the time available and the students taking part.
Drop-in conversations, equipment visuals and ground-level presenter demonstrations for a careers fair or college event.
