GoConstruct, run by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), is the definitive guide to careers in the construction and built environment trades. Young people can browse over 100 roles, from plastering, plumbing and electrical installation to quantity surveying and architecture, with clear explanations of what each job involves day to day.
For every trade the site sets out the entry routes: college courses, apprenticeships and traineeships, along with the qualifications (like NVQs and CSCS cards) that employers look for. There is a careers explorer that matches interests to trades, plus information on pay and progression, showing how apprentices can work towards running their own sites or businesses.
Construction is one of the UK's largest employers and offers strong, well-paid careers without a degree, making this a valuable resource for hands-on learners.
