The Construction Youth Trust is delighted to announce the launch of HRH The Duke of Gloucester’s Young Achievers Scheme.
 
This awards scheme aims to identify and celebrate the success of exceptional young professionals, to promote the construction professions to young people of all social backgrounds and, as a result, increase the number and diversity of entrants into the sector. There are four award categories:

• Architectural Design
• Surveying
• Engineering
• Construction and Project Management

Winners of each of the four main categories will have the chance to be mentored by a senior industry figure. There will also be an additional prize for the overall winner, chosen from the winner of the four categories. Prizes will be presented at Banqueting House ceremony in November.

Each of the categories is open to anyone under 30 working in the construction industry. Entrants should have a degree or other relevant experience or qualifications and the support of their employer.

Entries must be submitted to Construction Youth Trust by 8 September 2011. For further information and an application form please click here.
