Taylor Wimpey visits UK schools to promote careers in construction

Throughout recent months, employees of national housebuilder Taylor Wimpey have visited Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 4 pupils around the UK, encouraging them to learn all about housebuilding and the construction industry.

The visits are part of a UK-wide initiative to inform and excite the next generation about the homebuilding industry and to raise awareness of the career opportunities available, and many of the company’s regional teams have donated educational packs to schools around the UK. These packs are full of educational resources and a activities for pupils to complete.

This initiative formed part of the Million Makers challenge, which encourages organisations across the UK to compete to raise as much money as possible for The Princes Trust. Every year, the challenge collectively raises over £1m, which helps to change the lives of young people across the UK. By donating the educational packs and taking time out to visit local schools, Taylor Wimpey has reportedly raised £67,000 for The Princes Trust so far.

Now that the first round of educational packs and visits have been delivered, the company is working to arrange additional sessions with local schools this year.

This initiative was delivered by Team Legacy, Taylor Wimpey 2021 graduate team.
A spokesperson for Team Legacy said: “We’re absolutely delighted with the response to our educational packs and school visits. It’s been a real pleasure speaking to the students about what life is like working for Taylor Wimpey and the commitments we have made to be more sustainable and to look after our environment.”
