Year 10 Construction Visit - Galliford Try
Year 10 Construction students visited Galliford Try’s infrastructure development project between Blofield and North Burlingham on Wednesday 19th March. The trip offered a unique chance to witness the real-world application of classroom learning, as students explored the complexities of road construction and infrastructure management. Galliford Try representatives provided valuable insights into the planning, engineering, and sustainability measures involved in the project.
During the visit, students received first-hand knowledge about the multiple career pathways available within the construction sector. Industry professionals shared their experiences and highlighted the diverse opportunities within areas such as civil engineering, project management, surveying, and site operations. The students engaged in discussions about the essential skills and qualifications required, giving them a clearer perspective on their potential future careers.
A highlight of the day was the chance to experience cutting-edge technology through the use of virtual reality (VR) headsets. This immersive experience allowed students to visualise the project in its entirety, gaining a better understanding of the design and construction phases.
Thank you to the Galliford Try team for making the students feel so welcome.
