Built heritage: professions in short supply and career opportunities

CHILDREN’S RIGHTS” ACTION

This initiative pursues the objective of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child on non-discrimination (encouraging children with a preference for technical and vocational sections of education and training) and that of providing training in the shortage of built heritage trades and job opportunities.

In the company of educational facilitators, your pupils will be introduced to the concept of heritage and the job opportunities available; in the company of a bricklayer, roofer or joiner, experienced in training children and teenagers, they will work in a workshop or on site on a heritage subject chosen in consultation with you.
