Career Switchers
The Clive Holland Show
Tuesday, 18 February 2025 - 29 minutes
According to the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), over 250,000 additional construction workers will be needed by 2028 to meet the industry's needs. Clive believes that one way we can plug that gap is through career switching… So on today’s show we explored what it takes to leave one career behind and step onto site. From retraining options to the skills most in demand, we’re asking—what does it really take to start fresh in the trade? And with the industry crying out for new talent, how can career switchers help shape its future? We were joined by Anglea Forbes MBE from Buildforce - a not for profit which helps ex-military personnel transition into construction careers nationwide - as well as Billy Boardman who left the forces to become a plumber. There’s also the pub lunch quiz for your chance to grab yourself 6 points as well as the very best messages that we received - enjoy!
