This year the Construction Industry Federation has launched a ‘Constructing Your Future’ video competition to highlight the exciting opportunities available to young people through a career in the construction sector.
Transition Year, Leaving Cert Applied and Youthreach students across Mayo who are currently undertaking work placements in the construction sector, can enter the competition. Students are encouraged to share what they have learned on work experience in a short video to be in with a chance to win.
According to Dermot Carey, Director of Safety and Training at CIF, “We want students in Mayo and across the country to spread the word about working in the construction industry. Did you learn something? Did you enjoy your experience? Then tell us, tell your friends and you might even win a great prize.”
Second level students on work placement in a construction business can submit any video idea from a ‘highlights’ video to a daily diary documentary or anything in between. There will be prizes for three lucky winners; a €400 Ticketmaster Voucher, a GoPro Camera or Apple AirPods. Students can learn more and submit a video at www.cif.ie/constructing-your-future/ The deadline for applications is April 21st 2023.
