THURSDAY 15 & FRIDAY 16 JULY 2021
11am to 3pm
Virtual Event (Online only)

Following the success of the first and second #ConstructLondon events in 2020, when thousands of London construction jobs, apprenticeships, training courses and opportunities were promoted across social media - #ConstructLondon is back in a new format on Thursday 15 & Friday 16 July 2021!

The concept is simple and for everyone.

#ConstructLondon is an online event delivered via social media. It provides a platform for London’s construction employers, colleges, jobcentres, local authorities, charities and others to promote job vacancies, apprenticeships, training and construction opportunities to millions of people, young and older across the capital.

The event is organised by the National Careers Service London, the Mayor’s Construction Academy, Construction Youth Trust, West London College, Go Construct and the Department for Work and Pensions.
