At Gement, we have created Educational Programmes which connect the construction industry with higher educational institutions, independent scientific researchers, and scientific organisations. Our programmes are designed to raise awareness of career opportunities in the construction sector. 

For students who have not taken a higher education course in construction, the industry is somewhat a mystery. On the surface, it appears to be a male-dominated impenetrable workplace where most people wear hard hats. Generally, people have only a  limited knowledge of what the industry does and the available roles. 

If the industry is to plug its current skills gap, it must get the message across to young people currently planning their future career that a wide range of rewarding well-paid jobs is available. While there are many roles in the industry for people educated in traditional construction and engineering subjects, there are also multiple opportunities for people specialised in non-scientific disciplines. 

Our educational programmes are available to a wide range of students who want to experience the world of construction and learn about the available opportunities. We are partner with over 25 universities supporting above 500,000 students.

Throughout the year, we also run special workshops and conferences around sustainable building, geopolymer cements and other AACM’s.
