Does The Construction Industry Have An Image Problem?

A new survey from house builder, Redrow, has revealed a quarter of young people have a negative view of construction. Fewer than one in five school-age children polled said their parents would consider that a career in construction was a "good option" and about a quarter of the 1000 young people surveyed said the industry would not be considered a good choice. This strikes a serious blow to an industry that desperately needs to bring more skilled workers into the sector. This article talks about how schools could be doing more to encourage young people into the construction industry.
